Creating and Printing Free-Form User Layout

In some cases, it is necessary to print a free-form document for an order, and the standard print options — such as receipts, pre-bills, service print, etc. — are not suitable for that. For example, when using the booking option, a customer asks to print the list of dishes, their prices, and other information about the upcoming banquet. What to do in this case? !

Creating Print Layout

RK 7 has a special document type that is called 'user layouts':

In this section you can create individual print layouts; the data set available in this section is roughly the same as in a bill, receipt, or other similar documents. The main difference: printing of this layout does not involve additional operations in contrast to a pre-bill that makes an order uneditable or a receipt that requires order payment to be printed.

The procedure in this section is absolutely the same as with any other print layout:

1. You create a new document.
2. Open a layout for editing.
3. Place bands on the sheet and put memos or nested bands into them.

Then you save the layout and create a print representation for it.

Creating a Button for Printing a Layout form the POS Interface

Once the layout and its print representation are ready, you can move on to implementing the function of printing it from the POS.

1. In Service Scripts of the Operations section, you create a new script containing:

RK7.PerformRefObject(RK7.FindItemByCode(rkrefMaketSchemeDetails, 88)); (where 88 is the code of printed representation for the created layout)

1. Next, you take any unused user operation in Service Operations and rename it as you please. In the Script property, you indicate the script from par. 1:
2. Then you create a new function button to which you link the operation from par. 2:
3. Place the function button in the relevant selector:
4. Indicate the selector in the Using Selectors (Fig. 7):

Now, when this function button is pressed, your user layout will be printed.

Applications
