Introduction
CBS Layout Editor
The Layout Editor in the Client Bookkeeping Solution® (CBS) program is a full-featured, graphics editor that enables you to precisely place and resize text, data variables, and graphic objects on your check or form layout. Use the Layout Editor to create, copy, or modify a layout.
The tables that follow describe in detail the variables that are available for your CBS Accounts Receivable invoice and statement layouts.
Accounts receivable form and deposit slip layout types
Your CBS software includes a number of predefined layouts that you can use as is or modify to fit your needs. The layout styles and their filename extensions are:
File Extension Layout Type
RLY Invoice or statement
DLY Deposit slip
Explanation of headings
Data source. This identifies the specific window or dialog from which the program obtains the data for each variable and any specific criteria that apply to the variables.
Form. This designates whether the variable is typically used on an Invoice (Inv), Statement (Stmt), or Both. Please note that any variable may be inserted onto any layout, regardless of the heading under which it is listed in the Insert / Variable dialog. However, CBS will not print variables if they are inserted on an incorrect form type. In other words, if you insert an invoice variable on a statement layout, the
Area. There are three areas — header, detail, and footer.
A Header region is displayed as the first blue shaded area in the Layout Editor window on your screen. By default, any variable placed within the header region will be printed in the same position on all subsequent pages of a multi-page form. To print the header on the first page only of a multi-page form, double click anywhere within the Header region to display the Header Properties dialog and choose Print the Header on the first page only.
A detail region (or repeating region) is displayed as a yellow shaded area in the Layout Editor window on your screen. It is used in the detail area of an Accounts Receivable form or deposit slip layout to place repeating variables. For example, the repeating variables may provide transaction detail on items your customer purchased or on account activity for a defined period of time. When you print these forms or deposit slips, the program automatically prints data represented by a repeating variable in the detail area for each relevant item. Header lines are displayed as the green shaded areas within the yellow repeating region. (Search on Repeating variables:in AR form or deposit slip layouts from the Index tab of the Help / Layout Editor Help Topics for more information on repeating variables.)
A footer region is displayed as the second blue shaded area in the Layout Editor window on your screen. By default, the program automatically prints any variable placed within the footer region on the last page of your form in the exact location you have placed it. To print the footer directly after the last detail variable is printed, double click anywhere within the footer region to display Footer Properties dialog and choose Print the footer immediately after the last detail data.
Variable. This is the name of the variable. All variables listed in the following tables are available for selection on AR forms layouts.
Notes. The Notes column in the following tables include any special information about the variables, including how the program calculates the values, the specific field or column in the window or dialog from which the program obtains the data for each variable, etc.
Additional information
Throughout this document, you may see the following footnote symbols attached to the variable names.
1
Indicates a repeating variable. If you enter a repeating variable once on your form, CBS will automatically repeat the data that replaces that variable at print time for each line item of the form. In the Insert Variable dialog, repeating variables are denoted with an asterisk (*).
2
For variables that have been formatted in the Description Editor, CBS will display these variables as follows:
If you insert the variable in the main body of the form, CBS will display the text as formatted in the Description Editor, regardless of the formatting specified for the variable in the form layout.
Introduction
If you insert the variable in the header or footer region, you must size the variable according to the text that needs to be printed. Variables in the header or footer region are fixed position and, therefore, cannot wrap.
Layout Properties dialog
To select the negative-amount display format
You can display negative amounts on your check and deposit slip layouts with either a leading minus (default) or with parentheses. You must select this option on a per-layout basis.
1. In the Layout Editor, choose Layout / Open.
2. In the Open dialog, highlight the desired layout name and click the Open button.
3. Double-click in the check or deposit slip background section to open the Edit Layout Properties dialog.
4. In the Edit Layout Properties dialog, choose the display format for negative numbers.
5. Click OK.
Field Properties dialog
To negate any amount field
You can “negate” the sign of any amount variable. In other words, if a variable should normally be printed as a positive amount, you can negate it to have CBS print it as a negative amount, and vice versa.
1. In the Layout Editor, double click the selected amount variable to open the Field Properties dialog.
2. In the Field Properties dialog, mark the Negate field value checkbox. 3. Click OK.
To specify an overflow section number (deposit slips only)
When you insert a specific variable multiple times in a layout, CBS prints the same data for each occurrence of that variable. When inserting the Non-Cash Amount or Non-Cash Description variables in a repeating region on a deposit slip layout, you can specify an overflow section number to avoid having CBS use the same data for each repeating column.
Example: Non-Cash Description Non-Cash Amount Non-Cash Description Non-Cash Amount Overflow section number 1 1 2 2
1. In the Layout Editor, double click the Non-Cash Description or Non-Cash Amount variable to open the Field Properties dialog.
3. Click OK.
To underline the entire length of a variable (deposit slips only)
When printing Non-Cash Amount and Non-Cash Description variables, you can underline the entire variables to create columns on deposit slips printed on blank (no preprinted lines) paper.
1. In the Layout Editor, double click the selected amount variable to open the Field Properties dialog.
2. In the Field Properties dialog, mark the Underline entire variable length checkbox.
