How Create Advance Format In Busy

                           How Create Advance Format    

Advanced

With Advanced option, you can configure documents for more advanced features and can design full documents or invoices as per your requirement. Using Advanced Configuration option, you can take document designing to a higher level. For example, you can select the data fields to be displayed in the document or you can decide whether the text should appear bold or italicised. On similar lines, there are many other designing features that can be used.
Before discussing Advanced option in detail, let us first discuss various parts in which a document is divided or we can say various parts of documents that can be configured. For explaining different parts of a document, we will categorise documents under two type. The two type of documents are:
· Accounting vouchers
· Dual vouchers

Accounting vouchers

Accounting vouchers include vouchers in which only the accounting aspect is maintained. These include Receipt, Payment, Debit Note and Credit Note voucher type. If you select any of the accounting voucher then you can configure the whole document by using the Configure option.

Dual  vouchers

Dual vouchers include vouchers in which both the accounting and inventory part of the document is maintained. These include Sales, Purchase, Sales Return, Purchase Return, Sales Order, Purchase Order, Stock Transfer, Material Issued to Party, Material Received from Party voucher types. If you select any of the dual voucher then you can configure the document in three parts:
· Header - In the Header configuration, you can configure header part of the bill. All the configuration you specify in this part will be printed in the header of the bill. Generally, company name, company TIN number, bill number appears in the header of the bill.
· Body - In the Body configuration, you can define settings for the body of the bill. Body configuration of a bill generally include item details, such as item name, quantity, price, Bill Sundry and so on.
· Footer - In the Footer configuration, you can configure footer part of the bill. All the configuration, you specify here will be printed in the footer of the bill. Generally, company's terms & conditions, signatory details, total bill value appears in the footer of the bill.
Let us now discuss the Advanced Configuration in detail. To define advance configuration for a document, click Administration > Configuration > Document Printing > Advanced option. On clicking the Advanced option, a Document Configuration (Advanced) window appears. Given here is a screenshot of Document Configuration (Advanced) window.

In the Document Configuration (Advanced) option, name of the documents appear on the left hand side and various buttons appear on the right hand side. We will discuss all the buttons in the window one by one.
· Add Format
· Modify Name
· Page Settings
· Configure
· Header
· Sub Header
· Sub Header 1
· Sub Header 2

Page Settings

To specify the page settings, first select a voucher type on the left hand side and further select the format for which you want to define the page settings. On clicking the Page Settings button, a Page Setting window appears. Data fields in the Page Settings window are dependent on the type of voucher selected in the left hand side of the Document Configuration (Advanced) window. If you have selected an Accounting voucher type then the following data fields appear:
· No. of Lines to be used - Specify the number of lines to be used for document.
· Eject document after Printing - Specify 'Y' in this data field if you want to eject page after printing the document.

Configure

This button appears only for Accounting vouchers. To define advanced configuration for a document, select the required document from the left hand side of the Document Configuration (Advanced) window and further select the required format. After selecting the required format, click the Configure button. On clicking the Configure button, a Configure Document window appears. In the window you can define the advanced configurations for the selected format and voucher type. Given here is a screenshot of Configure Receipt window with default configuration.



If you want to view and use the default configuration as provided by BUSY then press <Alt+D> key. On pressing the <Alt+D> key, the default configuration will appear in the Configure Document window.

In the Configure Receipt window, you can configure the full document as per your requirement. In the window, all the print styles are provided for designing the documents and all the data fields related to the document are provided to print in the document. You can select the data fields as per your requirement. Beside selecting the data fields, you can also specify the static data to be printed in the document. Basically there are three elements for document designing i.e. Print Styles, Fields and Static Data. Let us discuss these elements in detail.

Print Styles

Print styles are various formatting related styles that can be added to document to make it more appealing. For example, Bold, Underline, Italic, Image and so on. To use print styles in the document, press <F4> key from the keyboard. On pressing the <F4> key, a list of print styles will be displayed on the screen. Given here is a screenshot of list of print styles that appear in the Configure Document window.


To use print styles in the document, select the print style from the list and press the <Enter> key. On pressing the <Enter> key, the selected print style will be displayed in the Configure Document window.

For detailed help on using the Print Styles, please refer to the document 'Document Designing in BUSY'.

Data Fields (Dynamic Data)

Data Fields refers to data fields of BUSY available for the selected document. All the data fields that appear in the BUSY in the selected document are available for printing. To use various data fields in the document press <Alt+F4> key. On pressing <Alt+F4> key, a list of available data fields appear. Select the required data field and press <Enter> key. On pressing the <Enter> key, selected data field will appear in the Configure Document window.

You can also use formulae with the data fields. For example, you want to print amount of an item then you can specify the formula as {<Price * Quantity,16.2,R>}. This will print the value of item price multiplied by its quantity. For detailed help on formulae, click Formula Help.



You can also use query in the Document Designing. You can create various queries using Query System provided under Display menu and use them while designing document. For this three fields, <SQL_QUERY_DATE,Name,10,C>, <SQL_QUERY_NUM,Name,16.2,R>, <SQL_QUERY_TEXT,Name,16,L> are provided. In all these queries in place of name, you have to write the name of the query created using Query System > SQL Query option and you will get the required results.


You can also print Bar code of a field by using the #bc tag. The syntax for the same will be <Item_Name, '#bc'40, L>.

Static Data

Static data refers to data that is entered at the time of creating the format such as company name and which remains unchanged throughout. If you want to add some features to static data then you have to specify the static data in between the carrot symbols. Otherwise if you do not want to tag any formatting features to static data then simply write the text in the Configure Document window. The format for specifying the static data in between the carrot symbols is <^TIN:^, 6, L>. Here TIN: is the text that will be printed as it is in the report , 6 is the space allocated for it in the report and L symbolises that text will appear left aligned. Otherwise if you do not want to add any formatting tag then simply write TIN: in the Configure Document window. Let us now have a look at using print styles, data fields and static data in the document with the help of an example. Busy Infotech wants to print following things in the header of the document:
1. Company Name (in Bold and in the centre of the report)
2. TIN: TIN number of the company
3. Name of the Party (Font color - blue)
To configure header for the above mentioned features, perform the following steps:
Feature 1: To print Company name in bold letters and in the centre of the report, perform the following steps:
· Press <F4> key and select the <BOLD_ON> print style from the list.
· Press <Alt+F4> key, select the <COMPANY_NAME> field and press the <Enter> key. On pressing the <Enter> key, Company Name field will appear in the Configure window in the following format:
· <COMPANY_NAME,40,L>. Here 40 is the space allocated for company name and L symbolises that text will appear left aligned. To centrally align the text, write 'C' instead of 'L'.

If you want company name to be printed in the centre of the report then instead of 40 write 80. Here we are assuming that the report will be printed in 80 col. printer in which a line contains 80 characters. By specifying 80, BUSY will allocate one full line for company name and will centrally align it according to the full line space.

· Press <F4> key and select the <BOLD_OFF> print style.
Feature 2: To print both static and dynamic data, perform the following steps:
· Type TIN: in the Configure Document window.
· Press <Alt+F4> key, select the <COMPANY_TIN_NO> field and press the <Enter> key.
Feature 3: To print party name in blue color, perform the following steps:
· Press <F4> key and select the Color_On print style. To help you know the code of the color, there is a Pick Color button. On clicking the button, a Color window appears. You can select the color of your choice and click the Ok button. On clicking the Ok button the code of the color appears in the text box next to the Pick Color button. You can copy this color code by using short cut key Ctrl+C and paste it in the COLOR_ON print style parameter using short cut key Ctrl+V.
· Press <Alt+F4> key and select the <PARTY_NAME> field.
· Press <F4> key and select the <COLOR_OFF> print style.
Given here is a screenshot of Configure Document window with all the above configuration.

To preview the document, click the Preview button. Given here is a screenshot of Preview window that appears on clicking the Preview button

The data appears in the xxxxxxxxxxx.... format since currently no data is available. Actual data will appear at the time of printing.

Header

This button appears if you have selected a Dual voucher type. In the Header option, you can configure the details to be printed in the header of the bill. On clicking the Header button, a Configure Invoice Header window appears. In the window, specify the required configuration to be printed in the header of the bill. For applying print styles and using data fields and static data in the header, please refer to the Configure option above.

Sub Header

This button appears if you have selected a Dual voucher type. In the Sub Header option, you can configure the details to be printed in the sub header of the bill. On clicking the Sub Header button, a Configure Invoice Sub Header window appears. In the window, specify the required configuration to be printed in the sub header of the bill. For applying print styles and using data fields and static data in the sub header, please refer to the Configure option above.

Sub Header 1

This button appears if you have selected a pure inventory voucher. In the pure inventory vouchers, you have the option to specify two sub headers, one for items generated and another for items consumed. On clicking the Sub Header1 button, a Configure Invoice Sub Header1 window appears. In the window, specify the required configuration to be printed in the sub header of the bill. For applying print styles and using data fields and static data in the sub header, please refer to the Configure option above.

Sub Header 2

This button appears if you have selected a pure inventory voucher. In the pure inventory vouchers, you have the option to specify two sub headers, one for items generated and another for items consumed. On clicking the Sub Header2 button, a Configure Invoice Sub Header2 window appears. In the window, specify the required configuration to be printed in the sub header of the bill. For applying print styles and using data fields and static data in the sub header, please refer to the Configure option above.

Body

This button gets active only if you have selected a Dual voucher type. In the Body option, you can configure the details to be printed in the Bill body. On clicking the Body option, a Configure Invoice Body window appears. Given here is a screenshot of Configure Invoice Body window.


In the Configure Invoice Body window, we have provided the option to specify separate configuration for various sections of the bill body. For this purpose, we have divided Configure Invoice Body into six sections. The sections are:
· Items Information - In this section you can specify the configuration for items information to be printed in the bill body.
· Sub Total Information - In this section you can specify the configuration for sub total to be printed in the report. Sub total refers to the items total amount without charging any Bill Sundry.
· Bill Sundries Information - In this section you can specify the configuration for Bill Sundries information to be printed in the report.
· Grand Totals Information - In this section you can specify the configuration for grand total information to be printed in the report. Grand Total information refers to the total bill amount inclusive of all item and bill sundry amount.
· Total Carry Over Information - In this section you can specify the configuration for total carry over information to be printed in the report.
· Total Brought Down Information - In this section you can specify the configuration for total brought down information to be printed in the report.
Let us understand configuration of various sections of the Bill body with the help of an example. Busy Infotech wants the following configuration for the bill body:
1.
Serial Number 3 char left align condensed
2.
Item Name 40 char left align
3.
Quantity 10 char +3 char after decimal left align
4.
Unit
10 char
left align
condensed
5.
Bill Sundry sub total   heading 40 char right align
6.
Bill Sundry Name 40 char left align
In the above table, first four features are for item information and last two are for Bill Sundry information. Hence for first four points, you have to specify the configuration under Items Information section and for last two points you have to specify the configuration under Bill Sundry Information section. Let us now have a look at the steps to configure above mentioned points.
· To specify Serial Number, press <Alt+F4> key, select SR_NO field. On selecting SR_NO field it will appear in the Items information in the following format <SR_NO,3,L>. Here 3 is the number of characters and C symbolises that the text will be centrally aligned. Change 'C' to 'L' to make the text left aligned. To condense the Serial number field, add <CONDENSE_ON> tag before the <SR_NO> by pressing the <F4> key and selecting the <CONDENSE_ON> tag and add the <CONDENSE_OFF> tag after the <SR_NO> field.
· To add Item Name, press <Alt+F4> key and select the ITEM_NAME field.
· To add Item quantity, press <Alt+F4> key and select the <QUANTITY> field. The Quantity field will appear in the Items Information in the <QUANTITY,16.3,R> format. Here 16.3 symbolises that 16 digits can be specified before decimal and 3 digits after decimal. Change 16 to 10 to allocate 10 digits for quantity before decimal. Also change R to L to make text left aligned.
· To add Unit, press <Alt+F4> key and select the <MAIN_UNIT_PRINT_NAME> field. Specify <CONDENSE_ON> tag before the <MAIN_UNIT_PRINT_NAME> field and <CONDENSE_OFF> tag after the <MAIN_UNIT_PRINT_NAME> field.
