Overview

SalesPad allows users to print sales documents to a Microsoft Word template using the Sales/Word Document report in the Print dialog.

Security

Sales/Word Document must be enabled in the Security Editor.

Print Report must be enabled in the Security Editor.

• If the sub-settings Invoice Reports, Order Reports, Quote Reports, or Return Reports are not blank (enabling all), the new report, after it is created, must be added to the list of reports that can be used under the applicable sub-setting(s).
• Admin Mode must be set to True to allow configuring the report.
• Show Customized Reports Only must be set to False while configuring the report in SalesPad. Once the report is configured, this sub-setting can be set to True if desired.

Setup

CREATE THE TEMPLATE IN WORD

First create a document template in Microsoft Word, much like you would create a template for a Printed Report. This template can include the company logo and standard wording that will apply to all printed documents using this template. It must contain merge fields that will pull information specific to each sales document onto the report.

Merge fields should be placed into the Word document where the associated information from the sales document should display. The following list shows example merge fields that may be used:

For help with merge fields, or identifying custom merge fields such as user defined fields, please contact SalesPad Support.
