Labels and Notes Customization

The Advanced Localization Features SuiteApp delivers a set of default texts (for each supported language) to be used in your printed invoices, credit memos, sales orders, or purchase orders. You can access this text from Setup > Accounting > Customize Document Template. Click Labels & Notes subtab to view the Default Text column. If you want to see the default text in different languages, you can switch between them using the Languages list. You can enable customization for a particular language by adding the preferred language in the Language subtab by going to Setup > Company > General Preferences.

You can also provide translations to custom values provided for subsidiary text fields.

If you have the Manage Translations permission, you can also replace the default text with your custom text. You can add custom texts on the Labels & Notes subtab in the following locations:

The SuiteApp uses the following sequence to display custom text on the printed transactions:

  1. The notes added in the Custom Notes field under Notes subtab.

  2. If the Custom Notes field is empty, the SuiteApp uses the text added in the Custom Text field under Labels & Text subtab.

  3. If the Custom Text field is empty, the SuiteApp uses the default notes added in the Subsidiary-specific Setup subtab.

Note:

For every language, you must add the custom text separately. After you are done adding the custom text, click the Save button or the Reset button to remove all your changes.

If you don’t have the Manage Translations permission, you can only view custom text and labels, but you are not allowed to edit them. If you need to edit custom text, ask your account administrator to grant you this permission.
