I would like to tag each appointment or service order line with a code 001 through 011. This will determine which lines to group on the invoice with a total for those lines and a custom description. Eg. Material, Labor, Misc. These would be the only lines appearing on the invoice with a grand total.

Hi ​@lewisad ,

Have you considered configuring an attribute on the stock or non-stock items?  I would use a combo box attribute, then pull the field onto the invoice from the InventoryItem DAC onto the report to group and print.  No customization needed for this approach.

@lauraj46 Can you give me some guidance in doing this?

HI ​@lewisad ,

The first step is to create an attribute.  Then add the attribute to each item class on the Item Classes screen.  Assign a value to the attribute on each stock item.  

On your report design, refresh the InventoryItem table on the Build Schema dialog and then the new attribute should be available to use.

Add a grouping based on this new field to the Groups collection of the Report Properties in the report designer.  You can print the heading in the group header and the line details in the detail section.  You can print the section total in the group footer.  You can also use the attribute in your report filters to limit the rows that are returned.

See some screenshots below. 

 

Hope this helps!

Laura

@lauraj46 This attribute field has to be manually added to each stock and non-stock individually?
