Order Types

An order type can be something such as an Invoice, Quote, Estimate, or whatever you want to call them. You can create any number of different order types. You can also use these to better track various sale types, or customize the appearance of the document you create.  
Customization  
When you create an order type, you can also define the format of the PDF file you wish to generate when sending a copy of it to the client. You will be presented a variety of boxes for entry on this page.

To quickly get started you will want to:

  • Provide a name
  • Choose a header template and footer template
  • Make sure the auto-numbering is correct
You can view a list of the Header and Footer templates under the Help menu, or you can provide your own using the appropriate header or footer html editors.

The templates follow our standard Template Placeholders features. This will allow you to use place holders that will then be filled in automatically by the system. For more information on template placeholders, please visit our help topic: Template Placeholders


Customizing Templates

You can customize the documents header, footer using the corresponding HTML edit fields. You can then customize this, along with the line item formatting using the CSS text area.

Header Template/HTML

This lets you define what the top portion of your document will look like. This should typically include any customer and order details.


Footer Template/HTML

This lets you define the top portion of your document. This includes everything that will be found after the list of items. This should typically include totals and other similar information.
