How to print Department & Category of the item on sales receipts?

Posted on by 5

I need to print Department and category of the item on the invoice.

I tried the following:

I used Entry.Item.DepartmentID but it's giving me a token error:

    Hi! We have created quite a few customizations for RMS. Can you please let me know the name of your store and what city/state your store is located? I can then connect you with a contact at RITE who can check and see what options we might have for you.

    Hi VkVk,

    I am not aware of a way to summarize by department on the receipt; but others on this form may be able to assist.

    As far as populating the SubDescription fields with the Department/Category information, this should be something you could do via a SQL script.

    NOTE: Please ensure a backup is made before running any update/delete/insert scripts; and you may want to first try this in a TEST/DEV environment.

    Hopefully this helps.

    Hi Todd,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I couldn't login from previous account, so i had to create this new one and reply you.

    I understand your point but we have more 10,000 products and it will be very difficult to keep track on SubDescription fields to have entered the Department / Category names.

    Plus, we also want to show the total qty purchased by the department on the receipt. i.e:

    Cigarettes: 40

    Drinks: 20

    Cigars: 10

    etc etc

    Is there any way that i can create variables for Department / Category in the database?

    I have some knowledge of SQL server and XML coding.

    I would really appreciate your help.

    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi VkVk,

    In checking the documentation, there does not appear to be variables for adding item Department and Category to the receipt.

    For your reference, I have attached the zipped Customization Guide which lists the available receipt variables.[View:/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/106/Customization-Guide-September-2007.zip]

    The only option I can think of would be to populate unused fields with the Department and Category name (maybe Subdescription 1, Subdescription 2, Subdescription 3 if these aren't being used); and then add these fields to the receipt format.

    This is less than 5 months from now; and you can continue using RMS after this date but technical support will not be available.

    I would recommend checking with your partner in regard to what they may recommend as a replacement system after the extended support end date.
