We added the feature to print your orders from CCRQInvoice for a number of reasons:
• If you are processing orders in CCRQInvoice it is easier to also print these orders than it is to go back to QuickBooks and find them to print from there (QuickBooks doesn’t let us control printing from their program).
• The QuickBooks form printing program has limitations, and we wanted to provide an alternate approach that adds capabilities beyond what QuickBooks provides. For example:
o You can have a different “footer” on the last page than other pages of a multiple-page order, so you can have the “total” box show just on the last page.
o You can print any field in a bar code format.
o You can design multiple page forms so that you can add a standard footer or disclaimer to the end of each order.
o You can print a batch of orders sorted in a different sequence, such as sorted by customer ID.
• We wanted to provide more flexibility in saving your orders to a PDF format than you can from QuickBooks.
In this chapter we will discuss the specifics of working with forms in CCRQInvoice. We recommend that you also review the Report Designer and Report Preview chapters.
