To set the default form template

Here's how to set the default form template to be used when printing or emailing in a batch. This example is for setting the default invoice form, but the same approach can be used for any forms which can be sent in bulk, such as purchase orders, statements, remittance advices or pay slips.

  1. Go to the Sales command centre and click Print/Email Invoices.
  2. Click Advanced Filters.
  3. Select the Item sale type. In this example, we've customised an item invoice layout.

To set the default template for other form types, like statements and cheques, use the example above as a guide, but go to the Advanced Filters window for the Print/Email... window relevant to your form (e.g. for chequesstatements, click Print ChequesStatements in the Banking Sales command centre).

Set the default email subject and message

The default Subject and Message for your emails are specified using the Email Defaults window (Setup > Preferences > Reports & Forms tab > Emails). This lets you customise your email text making it specific to your business.

You can override the default text in the Email or Review Forms Before Delivery windows when sending an email.
