Sales order (light) is a simplified version of the sales order printout for one specific sales order. It shows the same basic information as the standard sales order - customer and any delivery address, order number, subject, item lines with quantity, price and discount as well as price totals and VAT - but in a more compact layout. You use the light version when you want to give the customer a clear overview of the order without all the details from the full printout.
The printout gathers the information for the selected sales order on one document: the customer's name and address, any delivery address, order number and subject as well as the item lines on the order. At the bottom, price totals and VAT are shown, and the document can have your logo at the top and your footer with company information.
Compared to the full sales order printout, the light version is trimmed, so it takes up less space and is quicker to get an overview of. The content is otherwise the same base data foundation as the standard sales order.
The printout is created from the sales order you have opened and has no user-selected parameters. So you do not need to fill in anything in a dialog - the content and layout itself (for example whether prices, VAT texts, delivery address and logo are shown) is controlled by the fixed report settings set up for your solution.
Sales order (light) is started from Financial on the sales order you want to print.
1. Open the sales order you want to print. 2. Click the printer icon in the top right corner. 3. Select the light version of the sales order printout in the print dialog.
The printout is created as a PDF, which you can print or save.
