Definition

Controls issue of condition lines when printing documents such as order confirmations or invoices.

Use

In releases previous to 4.0, the following print indicators are available :

  • ' ' : Condition line is not printed
  • 'X' : Condition line is printed at item level
  • 'S' : Condition line is printed in totals block

The following standard logic is set out for these printing indicators:

  • Item POS of the last condition line is determined with 'X'.
  • All condition lines that contain an item smaller than POS in the pricing procedure are only printed if print indicators 'X' or 'S' are set.
  • All condition lines that contain an item larger than POS in the pricing procedure, that come before the first tax condition line and which have a non-statistical VAT condition, receive printing indicator 'S'. The same applies for condition lines that contain an item larger than POS in the pricing procedure, that come after the first tax condition line and an active non-statistical VAT condition.
  • Condition lines that represent a tax condition type are always printed in totals blocks with print indicator 'S' (set internally or externally).
  • Condition lines that represent a condition type that is not a tax condition type are only printed with print indicator 'S' (set externally or internally) if the condition value of the condition line is not zero. Condition lines that do not represent a condition type (i.e. subtotals) are only printed with print indicator 'S' or 'X' (set externally or internally) if the condition value of the condition line is different from the condition value of the previous condition line in the pricing procedure.

To provide a better overview of this process, 8 more print parameters are available as of Release 4.0. These print indicators cannot, however be mixed with the three previous print indicators ' ', 'X' and 'S' in the pricing procedure. This means that the new indicators are only taken into account if a no condition lines in the pricing procedure contain printing indicators 'X' or 'S'.

The new printing indicators have the following settings, and corresponding influence on processing.

  • 'A' : in total: general
  • 'B' : in total: if value <> zero
  • 'C' : in total: if value <> value of predecessor
  • 'D' : in total: if value <> zero and value <> value of predecessor
  • 'a' : at item : general
  • 'b' : at item : if value <> zero
  • 'c' : at item : if value <> value of predecessor
  • 'd' : at item : if value <> zero and value <> value of predecessor
