Free notes with carriage return

In Accounts Receivable I'm using the Free Notes.

For example I have few notes for an invoice, though when printed the notes are not separated by a blank row, making it messy to read.

In the form it appears to be impossible to add a carriage return to create the a Note with basically two lines one with text and one empty.

Any suggestion on how to achieve it?

If possible, I would prefer to avoid to recreate all the notes, and prefer to modify the existing ones.

Thanks

Regards

Sure, I'm attaching the pdf document of an invoice where you can see the free notes highlighted in yellow,

and then a screen shot for the setting of each note from Account Receivable - Setup - Free Notes - Customers free notes setup

As you can see all the notes are written without a space in between. I would like to insert a blank line

RE: Free notes with carriage return

Hi Sjoe,

This will need you to make a code change at a couple of pleaces -

The notes for Sales Invoice are being generated from SalesInvoiceBaseDP\getDocumentNote -

Since Docu::concatDocumentNote will be used in a lot of places. I would suggest creating a new method under Classes\Docu -

static Notes concatDocuRefNotesBlankLine(DocuRefSearch _search) { DocuRef docuRef; Notes result; #xppTexts if (_search) { docuRef.recordLevelSecurity(true); while (_search.next()) { if (result) { result = #newline; result = #newline; } result = _search.docuRef().Notes; } } return result; }

You can now call this method from the same place replacing the old line like this -

notes = Docu::concatDocuRefNotesBlankLine(docuRefSearch);

This should insert the blank line as you need.

What if you add carriage returns in the end of your note texts?

How do you suggest I do it? Just trying to add the \r at the end of the text of the free note? Do you think AX is going to recognize it as a command rather then an additional text to add?

Hitting enter ("carriage return") one or two times.

The form where to enter the free notes doesn't allow me to hit enter twice. At first enter it considers my editing of the note complete

Hi Sjoe,

Can you try adding "\n" at the end of the text?

Ah, then Shift-Enter might work just like in Excel.

Is this some customized form? I don't see such form in my system. I see just Form notes and there I can add line breaks in the notes by hitting enter.
