Invoice currency symbol plus add page for terms and conditions

First issue.

Yet another EXTREMELY frustrating day and VERY VERY unproductive day. Having read https://my.sage.co.uk/public/help/askarticle.aspx?articleid=12658 I attempted to implement what appears to be very simple task yet turns out to virtually impossible.

Invoices I require GBP symbol £ to be automatically inserted. Why this isn't a default setting is beyond me.  

Second issue.

Terms & Conditions. https://my.sage.co.uk/public/help/askarticle.aspx?articleid=33512 I simple wish to add a second page to an invoice and add terms and conditions text. Again this has proved impossible.

Using Report Designer, I added a section" -> "group header and footer" I couldn’t hide the 'new header.' The 'existing' footer I couldn’t add a page break. I moved the group footer to below the existing footer. I then added text box and attempted to add text. Regrettably no overlap possible. This sort of elementary functionality, I would think the majority of customers require, so why is it a simple necessity is proving to be so difficult.

Thank you.

 

  • Hi Christopher,

    Operating system is not configured

    Can you confirm whether your installation of Office 365 is 32-bit or 64-bit? If you are running a 64-bit version, this is unfortunately not compatible so would need to be reinstalled as 32-bit.

    If you are using a 32-bit version, it should be fully compatible with Sage. To test a workaround, please do the following;

    1) Select any Invoice > Print > Right-click your layout > Edit
    2) In Report Designer, select Report > Email Settings.
    3) Change your Mail Provider from Microsoft Outlook to MAPI (or vice versa).
    4) Click OK > File > Save > File > Exit.

    Test this email configuration and if you still have problems, please contact me on [email protected] so we can look further into it for you.

    Invoice currency

    The reason that a pound symbol is not implemented by default is because we have users with different currencies and need to accommodate this.

    However you can add a GBP symbol to your variable by editing the report or layout > single-click the variable > Properties > Formatting > Numeric > Check the box to Show as currency > OK.

    After this you should see the variable with the symbol showing.

    Regarding your terms and conditions, it is not possible to add a completely different second page in Report Designer. To add your terms and conditions, we would recommend pre-printing them from a Word processing program before printing your Sage Invoices.

    If you are emailing your Invoices, you can add your terms as an attachment if you have them saved as a PDF on your PC. To do this, please edit the layout and select Report > Email Settings > Email Attachments > Add the document that contains your terms and click OK > OK > File > Save > File > Exit.

    Next time you email out your Invoice, there will be an additional attachment showing your terms.

    Thanks,

    Brian
