The Return to Vendor (RTV) list can collate information from return records in real time for cross reference, and use archived data. A Return to Vendor list can also be printed from the Reports section of the ribbon:

Some letters in the field names within the header are underlined, eg. Vend#. Using Alt+ the underlined letter will jump to the field beside that heading.

Info

On the right-hand side of the Group field selection within the list is the word OR. Clicking this wording will change it to &. This relates to how to use groups within the search. To be able to select two groups and find things that are in both groups, use the & option. To search two groups and find anything that is in either one of those groups, use the OR option. Double clicking on the words Card Grp at the beginning of the Card Grp field will turn the field green to indicate that group selection is inverted. For example, select cards that are not in these groups.

 

Tip

Some of the fields within Jim2 are hyperlinks and can go from one form to another. In the Return to Vendor form there are two hyperlinked fields:

 

Vend#

Choose either the vendor's cardfile or creditor's record.

From#

Will open to the supplier's cardfile.
