When you print invoices and packing lists you can pickup the standard order information using the macros defined in the Invoice and Packing List Options.

In addition to these macros you can define others. These are replaced with the values just before printing. A macro can contain company information defined in the Company Details options.

Several default Macros are defined. These provide information to be put into the default invoice and packing list templates.

You can edit or delete the existing macros. You can also add your own macros. If you add or edit a macro you are shown the following screen.



Macro to use:
The text that appears in the Invoice or Packing List. If this appears the Value is replaced.

NOTE: These macros can also be used in Emails and Online Tracking.

Description:
The description of the macro. Default macros are created. You can also add your own. Use text that is meaningful to the person entering values.

Value:
The value that will be used when replacing the Macro. This can be text or a text, html or image file.

Text
The Macro is replaced by the text. NOTE: The Value can contain other Macros. For example, Ebay Info:[%FEEDBACK_LEFT%], [%FEEDBACK_RECEIVED%].

Local Filename
If the filename is an image file the file is displayed. If the file ends with .txt, .html or .htm the file is copied into the Invoice or Packing List. This can be useful for standard information, for example, your terms and conditions.

When you are using images from files and are using a networked version of One Stop Order Processing you should make sure that the files are available on your network. A good way to do this is to put your files into your C:\OSOP\Main directory (folder) and reference the files using the network path. An example of how to do this is described below:

1 Install the software into the default location on the main PC, C:\OSOP. In this example the main PC is called SERVER. Replace the name SERVER with your main PC's name.
2 Share the main directory C:\OSOP as OSOP (see Change Site for more details on how to do this)
3 Put all of your images to use in invoices etc. into C:\OSOP\Main (e.g. put logo.jpg into C:\OSOP\Main).
4 When using any files as Macros (e.g. logo.jpg) use \\SERVER\OSOP\Main\logo.jpg.

Internet Filename (weblink)
This is an image on a website (.gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .png). For example your company logo. It is a good idea to use an image from a website if you are using this for sending emails as the image will not be attached to an email, but a website link will be displayed.
