hi
the receipt currently prints of the item barcode | item description | Price
the code shud be this section and there is a part on top which aligns the heading for item code | description | price
<IF>
<CONDITION> Transaction.Type <> transactionDrop & Transaction.Type <> transactionPayout & Transaction.Type <> transactionNoSale & Transaction.Type <> transactionAccountPayment </CONDITION>
<THEN>
<TABLE>
<FONT> "Small" </FONT>
<BORDER> tbNone </BORDER>
<!--<COLUMNHEADER>
<ALIGNMENT> "<~" </ALIGNMENT>
<WIDTH> PageWidth * 0.20 </WIDTH>
<TEXT> "Item" </TEXT>
</COLUMNHEADER>-->
<COLUMNHEADER>
<ALIGNMENT> "<" </ALIGNMENT>
<WIDTH> PageWidth * 0.20 </WIDTH>
<TEXT> "Description" </TEXT>
</COLUMNHEADER>
<COLUMNHEADER>
<ALIGNMENT> ">~" </ALIGNMENT>
<WIDTH> PageWidth * 0.28 </WIDTH>
<TEXT> "Quantity" </TEXT>
</COLUMNHEADER>
<ROW> "========|=======================|================" </ROW>
<FOR each="entry">
<IF>
<CONDITION> ((Entry.QuantityOnOrder <> 0) | (Entry.QuantityRTD <> 0)) </CONDITION>
<THEN>
<ROW><!-- Entry.Item.ItemLookupCode "|"--> Entry.Description "|" Entry.QuantityPurchased </ROW>
</THEN>
<ELSE>
<ROW><!--d Entry.Item.ItemLookupCode "|"--> Entry.Description "|" Entry.Quantity </ROW>
</ELSE>
</IF>
</FOR>
<ROW>
</ROW>
<ROW>
</ROW>
<ROW>
</ROW>
</TABLE>
</THEN>
i wish to take out the item code, and display only the description & price in the receipt, as well as align the description to the left.
and there is white space between the sections of the receipt that i wish to reduce or take out completely. so im taking out "<ROW> </ROW>" and seeing the effects but till now it seems to be not reducing. do i have to change some value for the alignment or something?
is there an online guide that teaches how to edit, becos frankly speaking, looking at all the code, i do not know how to start at all and i do not know all the variables being declared and functions used.
Thank you for replying~!
Your receipt template is an XML file (document) and is located on your store system CPU where RMS Store Operations Manager is running.
Path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Retail Management System\Store Operations\ReceiptTemplates\ xxx.XML
Use your current receipt template as a basis template for the modified version you want. Edit this document in Notepad and save the modified version in the same folder under a new name.
Edit this file to modify the receipt format. Changes must consider your receipt printer type, number of columns in your receipt format and total characters supported for a row on your receipt. Trial & Error & lots of testing...
Use Store Operations Manager / Database / Registers / Register List (Receipt Printer# Tab) to assign your modified receipt format to the receipt printer at each register.
Excel spreadsheet import to HQ or Store item database.... I recommend System Solutions Data Import Tool. An inexpensive third party software add-in to RMS. This tool will add or update Items and / or generate purchase orders. Runs at HQ or at store level.
This forum is the best place to get information on RMS system topics.
