Print an item message for specific ILCs

Is there a way to do conditional printing of an item message on the receipt?

I need to print a "No Exchanges or Refunds!" message below any item description from a specific category. The tag along item doesn't work because it throws of the quantities on the receipt and reports etc and clutters the receipt.

If the above is not possible how about a message towards the bottom of the receipt?

I'm assuming you dont already know this, but you probably do. Yes you can put a simple refunds or exchanges clause at the bottom of your reciepts. You can use the Footer lines in the receipt template settings. If you need more room than the 5 footerlines that are provided for your refunds and exchanges message, there are ways of editing the .xml receipt template. I can help with this part.

The only thing about doing it this way is that your refund message will appear at the bottom of every receipt regardless of what items were sold on that transaction.

Alex - there's a couple things you can do here.

1 - Use a SQL statement to populate say subdescription1 (if you're not using this field) - if you need help with the syntax reply to the post

2 - Go > Is there a way to do conditional printing of an item message on the receipt? >

Hi Alex,

What You may do for "conditional printing" is leaving in blank all the footer lines by default, edit the XML receipt by creating a local boolean variable and add an IF tag per each Transaction Line ( tags), and check if any of the Items belogs to the Specific Category (CategoryID) or if any of this Items has some specific SubDescription (like other guys recomended also), and depending on this change the value of the local variable. At the end, based on the value of the local variable (True or False), you can print one thing or another in the footer. Mail me if you need more info. Regards, Antonijo

You are correct, I was trying to avoid printing the message on receipts if it didn't apply to (any items on) the receipt.

Thanks anyway!

Thanks, for you reply but...

  1. I am already using SubDescription1 - 3 for Style, Color, and Size. And this would also unnecessary clutter up the item database with a lot of repetitive information (plus I would have to update it frequently).

  1. This would make my receipt very long since most of our items already do have Sub1 - 3 populated.

Thanks!

This sounds like the perfect solution for me.

I'll try implementing this next week and post back if I run in to any problems.

Thanks!

We do it this way.

In the item description under NOTES, we have the word "CLEARANCE". Everyone knows this means NO RETURNS OR EXCHANGES.

When it comes up on the screen, the NOTE comes under the item description. it says CLEARANCE on the second line under the item's description.

To make this show up, go to

FILE | CONFIGURATION Options Tab ITEM OPTIONS FOLDER, then select "SHOW ITEM NOTES"

This will also print out on the receipt.
