Hi there. I'm new to MS POS, so I apologize if this is a silly question, but how do you get receipts/statements/etc. to include the customer's title when printing the customer's name? So that it says "Mr. Fred Smith" instead of just "Fred Smith" for example.
Thank you in advance for any help anyone can provide.
Mike,
You have to go into the report files and Receipt templates and change the code directly. If you're not familiar with the languages please contact an RMS reseller. They should be able to help you out.
Good luck, Matt
Hi, Matt,
Thanks for your quick reply. I'm a programer, so the XML in the receipt templates was not complete Greek to me. I also saw the list of POS variables that was published to this newsgroup a while back. However, I didn't see any variable on there for a customer's title/salutation. This piece of data is collected in the customer records, so you must be able to write it out to receipts somehow. Is there a place where you define what will be included in Customer.Name? So that I could change it to output "Title, FirstName, LastName" instead of just First Name and Last Name, for example?
Thank you!
Mike.
