Using grid templates |
You can use either grid matrix templates or grid item templates to create the grid table. |
You can only use grid matrix templates to create the grid table. |
|
Creating the transaction using Grid Order Entry |
When you create the transaction using Grid Order Entry, the grid table depends on the Grid Item ID and Grid Template field values. These fields are located on the Items subtab of the transaction record. For more information, see Entering Single Grid Orders. |
The Grid Order Entry feature is not available for transactions using this grid printing option. |
|
Creating the transaction using CSV Import |
When you create the transaction using CSV Import, the grid table depends on the Grid Item ID and Grid Template field values. These fields are located on the Items subtab of the transaction record. For more information, see Importing Grid Orders. |
For transactions using this option, the Grid Item ID and Grid Template fields on the Items subtab are irrelevant to the grid table. These fields are either ignored or do not exist in the transaction record. The grid table only displays items that have an assigned grid matrix template. To confirm the template assignment, go to the item record. On the Custom subtab, verify that the Preferred Grid Template field value is a grid matrix template. If the Preferred Grid Template field is blank, the oldest grid matrix template on the Grid Templates page becomes the template. |
|
Manually adding items using the Items subtab in the transaction record |
When you manually add items on the Items subtab of the transaction record, the Grid Item ID and Grid Template fields are blank and disabled. Therefore, these items appear on the item list in the printout. |
For cash sales, invoices, picking tickets, and quotes, manually added items appear in the grid table only if the items have an assigned grid matrix template. For packing slips, you add items using the Items subtab of the transaction record. |
