A PostTrans template can easily add a message to the top or the bottom of a Sage 50 Sales Quote, Order Invoice + Purchase Order, by simply Adding extra text at top or bottom of transaction. So we could take the default template layout:

And add extra text in order lines

These will be imported as S3 text lines, so can be as long as you want.

Example: Press Help, on the PostTrans toolbar, then select example “Creating text message top/bottom of transaction” which is the example discussed below.  You should also have read the "Importing Transactional Data" on the Training page for a basic understanding of PostTrans basics.

But if we have the option on to "’Ignore ZERO Qty’, to create a quick order pad in the PostTrans system setting, then PostTrans will ignore theses lines as they have zero qty.   Or we may prefer to have the message actually defined in the header of the transaction.

To do this we could simply select cell C7 and add tag THMessTop or THMessBot1, under the ‘Header’ tab of the PostTrans tags side bar.  Thus we have:

Having press Import on the PostTrans toolbar to post the transaction we have:

Tags of interest

The following PostTrans tags allow the above functionality:

Tag Name	Data Type	Description
THMessTop	Text	Add message at top of transaction using S3
THMessBot1	Text	Add message at bottom of transaction using S3
THMessBot2	Text	Add message at bottom of transaction using S3

With data type Yes/No fields, if cell starts with 'y' or 'Y' is taken as TRUE

Where ^ denotes a Code Search field (Popup search window), delete ^ at end of tag, to turn off code search
