Text wrapping for Item Description in Sales Receipt.

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

 

We are having Item Descriptions around 25characters. However, after trying many permutations and combinations, I can fit only 15characters in the 40column sales receipt. So, I would like to know If Text wrapping is possible for Item Descriptions in Sales Receipts?

 

Thanks.

     Your best bet is to steal the space from the ILC and Price columns:

       =============================
       Transaction Details
       =============================
    -->
          <IF>
             <CONDITION> Transaction.Type &lt;&gt; transactionDrop &amp; Transaction.Type &lt;&gt; transactionPayout &amp;  Transaction.Type &lt;&gt; transactionNoSale &amp; Transaction.Type &lt;&gt; transactionAccountPayment </CONDITION>
             <THEN>
                <TABLE>
                   <FONT>      "Small"     </FONT>
                   <BORDER>    tbNone      </BORDER>
                   <COLUMNHEADER>
                      <ALIGNMENT>    "&lt;~"           </ALIGNMENT>
                      <WIDTH>        PageWidth * 0.19  </WIDTH>
                      <TEXT>         "Item"            </TEXT>
                   </COLUMNHEADER>
                   <COLUMNHEADER>
                      <ALIGNMENT>    "&lt;~"           </ALIGNMENT>
                      <WIDTH>        PageWidth * 0.62  </WIDTH>
                      <TEXT>         "Description"     </TEXT>
                   </COLUMNHEADER>
                   <COLUMNHEADER>
                      <ALIGNMENT>    "&gt;~"           </ALIGNMENT>
                      <WIDTH>        PageWidth * 0.19  </WIDTH>
                      <TEXT>         "Amount"          </TEXT>
                   </COLUMNHEADER>

    Specifically, removing the tilde (~) in the Alignment tag will allow text wrapping. Details below from an old post:

    remove ~

    tilde sign from the Item.Desciption column from the Transaction Details

    section of the receipt.

    First find your receipt format, make a copy of the receipt then right click

    and choose edit. Press Ctrl-F and search for TransactionDetails (one word)

    then change this:

    <COLUMNHEADER>

    <ALIGNMENT> "<~" </ALIGNMENT>

    <WIDTH>PageWidth * 0.42 </WIDTH>

    <TEXT> "Description" </TEXT>

    </COLUMNHEADER>

    To look like this:

    <COLUMNHEADER>

    <ALIGNMENT> "<" </ALIGNMENT>

    <WIDTH> PageWidth * 0.42 </WIDTH>

    <TEXT> "Description" </TEXT>

    </COLUMNHEADER>

    Save your file then reassign the file in the Receipt Format section of SO

    Manager.

    Dear Matt and MarcR,

    Thanks to both of you for such a quick response. I could see the Item Description text wrapped in Journal but it is not in printed receipt.

    Please help!

    Below is my current script for Transaction Details:

    I was able to get my description to wrap by using this code: 

                     <ALIGNMENT>    "&lt;"           </ALIGNMENT>
                      <WIDTH>        PageWidth * 0.42  </WIDTH>
                      <TEXT>         "Description"     </TEXT>

    maybe the formatting of the web interface is interfering with the understanding,

    make sure the alignment is using the code: quote-ampersand-l-t-semicolon-quote "&lt;" and not the less than symbol like "<"

    Are you using OPOS Drivers or Windows Drivers? If OPOS, you won't get it to text wrap no matter what you do. If you need text wrapping, or any other more advanced text formatting, you will have to install and use the Windows drivers.
