Basic Program Set Up

Before you start entering information in AnyOrder, you'll want set-up the program for your business environment.  The program needs to know your address for printing out invoices.  It needs to know if your state or local government charges sales tax and how much, etc.  All this information is entered in Basic Setup.

To reach it, start at the Main Invoice Screen and select FILE >> BASIC PROGRAM SET UP & PREFERENCES from the Menu Bar.  A screen will appear with a series of questions and blanks, as shown below.

Start by clicking on the "Business Address" tab on the top the Basic Set-up Screen.  This allows you to enter your business name and address.  With time you'll probably enter other information, but this will get you started.

By the way, a help system has been built directly into the dialog box.  If you use TAB to move from question to question, helpful information will appear in the box at the bottom of the screen.  The most complete information on each item is available by pressing the HELP button (or click F1 which in AnyOrder always brings up Help documentation).

When your address has been entered (and any other Basic information you might want to alter), click on FILE >> SAVE & CLOSE from the menu bar.  You will be returned to the Main Purchase Order Screen.

Printing

To print an invoice, start at the Main Invoice Screen.  Make sure that the invoice you want printed appears on the screen.  You can Page-Up or Page-Down to get to it.  When you get to the proper invoice, select FILE and PRINT INVOICE from the Menu Bar.

The Print dialog box will appear:

You can select from several different options on the top of the screen (packing list only, original and one copy, etc).  Or you can set the numbers of packing slips, copies and originals in the bottom half of the box.  Click on the "Print" button and your invoice will be printed.

Here what the invoice looks like when printed.  This sample is using the top re-design option and has the barcode option turned on.  You don't have a barcode or any other printing options, but they are there if you need them.
