Add Generic Notes

Use the Generic Notes Maintenance (TNOTES) program to to create and maintain common or generic notes text that you can merge into standard notes in any program that has the notes capability. You can create groups of generic notes for a specific program that you can identify for selection by a description you set up.

Enter the application code for which you want to add a generic note or click Lookup and use the standard lookup options to select the application from a list.
Click Add if generic descriptions exist for this application. The program prompts Notes Desc.

Enter a description that will help you identify the note or group of notes. (25 alphanumeric characters maximum).

Click Add to enter lines of notes. The program prompts Sequence number to start.
Accept the displayed default, which is the next logical number given the highest numbered existing note line, or enter a different sequence number. The program prompts Sequence increment.
Accept the displayed increment (10 is the default), or enter a different increment.
(Optional) Press Shift/Tab to change the note type from P for printable (the initial default) to:

Enter	To
B for before	Print this note before line items and other notes
P for printable	Print this note after line items
N for non-printable	Omit from printing
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9	Print a selected copy; if this number matches your entry in the Note print codes field of a document copy in the Document Output Parameters Maintenance (TDOC) program For example, if you enter 1 and entered 1 in the Note print codes field of the customer copy of a document, this note prints on the customer copy after type P notes.

See Background for the print sequence when you have type B, P, and numbered notes for both the order header and lines.

When you change types, the new type becomes the default for subsequent note lines.

Enter note text of up to 50 characters and press Enter at the end of the line. Enter as many additional lines of notes as are necessary. Press Enter twice to insert a blank line.
