Can anybody give me some advice on what software i can use to edit the receipt layouts?
Is there some sort of 'what you see is what you get' solution?
Also - where is the receipt template stored? is it local to each till or will it be a shared resource on the server somewhere?
Thanks!
Notepad. If you right-click the receipt template in question and select Edit, it'll open in notepad. If you stare at it long enough, it'll start to make some sense.
Always work on a copy - not the actual file you're using. Rename the copy. Change the name within the XML code so it's easily identifiable from SO Mgr.
I am not aware of any WYSIWYG XML editors.
The Receipt Template is in the Store Operations\ReceiptTemplates directory. Each station looks for Receipt Templates in whichever directory is specified in the Store Ops Admin Configuration for that station.
I don't know about others, but my server's Store Operations directory is shared and mapped as a network drive on each PC. This way, if I change a receipt template, all of the systems are looking at the same file.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Tom,
Thanks for your adivce, ive already had a bash at editing in word, it does kinda make sense, but i find it very trial and error! :o)
I really just want to have a play with what i can/cant do. There are a couple of things i want to do though -
1) Our ILC is the barcode of the item, which takes up a lot of the receipt space and isnt really relevant to our customer, so i'd like to remove that.2) Our descriptions can be extremely long as we sell plants with varieties etc, i'd like to force pos to use 2 lines of a receipt to fit all the description in.
Thanks for your help!
Philip,
If you are on the RMS Maintenance Plan, log onto CustomerSource and type receipt in the support KB section for all kinds of answers to questions about receipt issues. In addition, there are approx 20 different receipt templates that can be downloaded too.
I'm not currently a member of the RMS Maintenance Plan - but it sounds good - how do i become a member? Is it expensive?!
Philip,
The RMS Maintenance Plan includes all updates to the program, access to CustomerSource and all of its resources, training webcasts, etc.
The plan runs 18% of the MSRP of the RMS product you purchased, at the time you purchased it, per year. Here's a link to the info sheet;
