A: One of the new features in the 06/99 TM4 Update is called Formatted Notes. This feature will allow the operator to save a Formatted Note and print it for each Module (i.e. TX, IN, SO, IP, etc). An example of where the Formatted Note function would be beneficial would be when invoicing in Sales Order Processing and/or Invoice Processing and adding the same note to all your customers. The note could address items such as special promotions, holiday hour changes and special events that your company will be having.
To use the Formatted Notes function, the system parameter SPECIAL_NOTE_MODAL will need to be added to your system. Enter a "Y" at the current value field.
Once the indicator has been saved, you may then go into any module where a note may be added and use the F4 key to create a formatted note.
When a formatted note has been saved to one of the modules, that note may be inserted and/or edited at any time. These notes may be inserted as header and/or lines notes in the Invoice and Purchasing modules.
