Print when entering an expense

[Marco]

First thanks for a GREAT piece of software that we use for the DutchClub here in Australia.

But there is a feature that I would really like; Once an expense is entered, I would like something to be printed. How can I make this possible?

Kind regards
Marco

There is no feature to print transactions when entered in the Cash Drawer section.

But all transactions are listed under Reports->Cash Transaction Report.

Thanks John

I've got access to Visual Studio, so if you could give me a couple of clues, I'm happy to give it a go myself. Looking for:
- Adding an action type; where to 'trigger' the action from
- Where to add extra 'letter commands' for the print template.
- Any tricky stuff I should keep an eye on.

I'm an experienced programmer in Visual DataFlex. C# is new to me, but happy to give it a go.

Thanks
Marco

I don't code (anymore) so Emre and the others will need to help you on that.

V3 has these features already built-in. So if you can wait until V3 is out of Beta then your all set.

Thanks John

I know these things are hard to predict but is version 3 a while off?
Like several months, or more like weeks.

Kind regards

V3 is very stable at the moment and some people are running it in production.

Since there has been very little bug reports of late, I would say that we are probably a month or two away. But in saying that, I have a production ready system we are about to kick off based 3.0.26b for a client.

Things to remember when releasing Beta into production.
- Even if you test well, expect problems.
- Never upgrade to a newer version unless you have tested it on another system first.
- Always backup your database before making changes.
- And never rush into production. Make sure it works fully first.

V3 will run in parallel to V2, so you can test on existing hardware setup.
