  • CL Customer Form

  • CL Employee Form

  • CL Vendor Form

  • CL Cash Sale

  • CL Credit Memo

  • CL Invoice Form

  • CL Item Fulfillment

You can set these custom forms as the default forms for specific user roles. For more information, see .Defining Preferred Forms.

For detailed information about how to customize a transaction form, see Creating Custom Entry and Transaction Forms.

An advanced PDF template is delivered with the Chile Localization SuiteApp. To customize the layout of the template, go to Customizations > Forms > Advanced PDF/HTML Templates and search for Chile (transaction) PDF Template. For more information about the Advanced PDF/HTML Templates feature, see Advanced PDF/HTML Templates.

Important:

When customizing a Chile transaction form, select the Standard (transaction) PDF/HTML Template from the dropdown list. Do not select the Chile (transaction) PDF Template on this record.
