Print a Transaction Record

When you print a transaction, you can specify if you want to show report options for the transaction report or hide them. Showing report options allows you to access a Layout tab where you can define the document properties for the report.

To print a Vantagepoint transaction report:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Transaction Center > Transaction Entry.
  2. Select a transaction from the All Transaction form, or open a specific type of transaction and select a transaction file (for example, Journal Entries or AP Vouchers).
  3. From the list of records, select the checkbox next to the transaction that you want to print.

    The transaction type list is filtered based on your security role's access rights. If you use multiple companies, this list is further refined based on the active company. See the Accounting tab of Role Security for more information.

  4. Use one of the following methods to print the report:
    • Print: Click this option to print a transaction record from either the All Transaction form or from the Transaction Entry form. When you print a transaction, you can specify if you want to show report options for the transaction report or hide them. Showing report options allows you to access a Layout tab where you can define the document properties for the report. See the Layout Dialog Box online help topic for information on the different layout settings.
    • Print - Errors Only: Click this option to print a file that includes errors for the current transaction batch.
    After you select a print option, the report's display is based on the show report option that is specified for Other Actions.
    • If Other Actions > Show Report Options is selected, the Layout dialog box displays. Use this dialog box to set the layout options for the printed transaction. See the Layout Dialog Box online help topic for information on the different layout settings. After determining the layout, click Run to run the report.
    • If Other Actions > Hide Report Options is selected, the report generates automatically.

    After the report generates, it displays listing the selected transaction records. You can review the report to make sure it contains the appropriate data in the correct format. If changes are needed, you can modify the report data and layout, then generate it again.

  5. After running the report and reviewing the data, use the toolbar options that display on the report to complete the following:
