I am trying to add a signature line to the full page receipt. I use full
page for in store Charges, and would like to have a line for customers to
sign. what do i need to do to add this to the standard full page receipt?
also, I would like to change the header from "sales receipt" to Invoice. is
this possible? In the old POS system that I had, there was an editor that i
could use to change the look/layout of the receipts. does RMS have the same
thing. I cant find any way of editing the templates.

thanks

Jason

You can use Notepad to edit receipts. Just navigate to the Receipt Folder,
find the receipt you want to edit and open it in notepad. Work on a copy of
the original so you always have a backup in case you screw it up.

Craig,
Thanks for the suggestion, but I am not a programmer. I manage a Paint
store. it might as well have been in Greek. I was hoping to edit it with
something a little easier to understand. any ideas?

You will have to edit it in notepad. Maybe someone else knows how to get a
sig line on the full page receipt. Not being a programmer myself, it would
take me some trial and error to get it done. Don't worry about not knowing a
whole lot. A lot of us here have gotten our receipts the way we want them by
searching this newsgroup and doing some cut and pasting. As long as you only
work on a copy of the receipt you can always revert back to the original and
start over again. You can also check on customersource, there may be a
template that does what you want on there.

okay, so you were right craig. i worked up the nerve, and figured out how to
add the signature line. thanks for the input. now, my question is, how do i
change the heading from "SALES RECEIPT" to INVOICE. it seems to me that if
someone is charging to an account, it is an invoice, not a sales receipt. i
can't find where that is listed in the notepad file.

thanks again for the help
