Setting Up Required Notes

AcuityLogic can prompt users to enter a note for the following transactions:

  • Miscellaneous payments
  • Refunds (full or partial)
  • Remakes
  • Returns
  • Sales adjustments

The same type of transaction may generate different types of notes depending on how a transaction is resolved. For example:

Transaction Resolution Note Type
Return Refund Refund
Return Credit Return
Sales adjustment (decrease balance) Refund Refund
Sales adjustment (decrease balance) Credit Sales adjustment

To set up required notes

  1. Open the Types/Reference window. See Opening the Types/Reference Window.
  2. Click the Note Requirement link for your company.

    The Note Requirement window opens.

  3. In the row of the note type you want to activate, click Edit.

    By default, all required note types are inactive.

  4. Select the row's Active check box.
  5. Click Update.
  6. Click Return.

The system now requires users to enter a note for each transaction that corresponds to an active note type. For example, the following prompt appears for remake transactions. If you do not enter a note, the Remake Order button does not respond, and you cannot complete the remake.
