Re:PRINT BATCH INVOICES!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Year, 8 Months ago

Hi Tyler
Great bit of coding. Just to add to the subject I often get asked how to do this, print in bulk. And how to handle the invoices,picking and packing at the same time.
The best way I have found is to export lists of clients in reports and mail merge the data in with a word document.
This way I have been able to heavily customise the "invoice", print duplicate packing slips that go with the goods (invoices ofter sent separately especially when exporting so you can do the Value $5 thing) and also personalize the follow up sales letter/s, forms, magalogs and lables.
To make this worth while you do have to use Word merge effectively. Using the "what if" statements in there you can change paragraphs in the invoice and notes, dynamically change shipping notes based on states and automatically have the system enter the sales amounts.
The one issue is the payment plan, but in most cases the wording such as "you will be billed a regular amount of (enter txt as a what if against product id) every 30 days" normally works.
Where I have used this method with companies who ship many slightly different products this has lead to increases in operations of up to a factor of 8 per employee per day. Which really can make a big difference.
Notes. You do need to be careful of date ranges of the reports is you are outside the USA.
My partner is currently looking into the export via the API to see if we are able to also get over the payment plan issue.
