Document attributes

From the level of trade or complaint document views, there is a field available which presents attributes assigned to a document type.  Attributes with checked option Retail POS – Preview will be displayed in the application without the possibility to edit their value, whereas value of those with option Retail POS – Preview and Edition will be editable. Values of attributes synchronized to Comarch ERP Standard system are visible when previewing a given document.
Comarch Retail POS application is equipped with functionality of transferring values of attributes from customer form onto a document or from item form onto a document item. In case of transferring attributes from customer form onto a document, it is necessary to attach the same attributes both to the customer form and the document. Value specified for an attribute on customer form is rewritten when that customer is selected in a document. In case a user has previously specified values of those attributes in a document, then changes the customer and updates that data, the values of shared attributes will change to values specified in the customer form. Other values of document attributes will not be changed.

Transferring of attributes from an item form onto a document item is performed the same way. The condition which must be fulfilled is that the same attributes along with their values specified are attached both to item form and document item. Transferring of values takes place while an item is added onto a document. However, values of attributes transferred from item are not editable.

The functionality of transferring attributes is also available when generating invoices from receipts and creating corrections to receipts and invoices. Values of attributes are transferred from a source document and its items into a generated document and its items only for attributes attached to both type of documents or document items. Attribute values transferred onto target document are not editable.

In case of attributes with checked option Required, it is not be possible to confirm a document without specifying values for them. Then, the following message is displayed: “Fill in field [attribute_name]”. When modifying layout of a view, it is possible to determine a given attribute as required.
