We picked up a customer that suppresses invoice printing for certain EDI customers. They don't use batch invoicing so when they print invoices they want all unprinted invoices for all other customers to print. That all works fine. They want to occasionally print those suppressed invoices from history. OK, the quick and easy way is to create a new form for printing history invoices for those customers. They'd prefer not to have to change the form code. Wait for it...here's the question: Is there a field/formula in invoice printing that will tell you whether or not you're in history printing mode?

The only thing I can think of is the Line 1 message that defaults to ""* THIS IS A DUPLICATE INVOICE*"".

Nice, now that's thinking outside the box. I've certainly heard worse ideas but I was hoping for something a little more ""reliable"".

here is an outside the box idea, create a UDF in the SO_invoiceWrk Table On the data sourcing tab, source it from any field with AR_InvoicehistoryPrinting_rpt but NOT from SO_InvoicePrinting_rpt. that way you can check for a value in that udf. if it is blank you are not printing from history seems like it would be reliable.

@DavidOverholt now that's what I'm talking about. I was thinking there might be an internal formula or field but that is a pretty good workaround. Thanks! (All that so their users don't have to pick a different form, seems ridiculous to me. Gotta love customers, don't you?)

I like it!

It's implemented and working like a charm, thanks again @DavidOverholt ! You too, Bert-o-wood!
