The AddonSoftware rule file was created based upon the
6.05 release of AddonSoftware. We used demo data and factory default settings
for form development. To see Adobe Acrobat® (PDF) samples, check out our
AddonSoftware Samples page.
Download the rule file,
and copy it to your UnForm directory as "aon605.rul". Then specify "-f aon605.rul"
on your UnForm commands in config.bbx to put the file into use.
Please note that we modifed the generic report rule set to take advantage of new
features offered in Version 4.1.05. If you need to use this rule file on an older
release, then please remark out the detect statement found in the "Generic" rule set,
so that UnForm will then detect the "Generic1" rule set, which is the older, less
flexible format.
Any comments or suggestions for improvements and/or corrections to the forms or reports listed
below should be e-mailed to support@synergetic-data.com. If you would like to see other reports
or forms enhanced send a list to the same e-mail address. It is our intention to supply Addon
VARS with the tools needed to provide their customers with the most professional-looking
documents possible.
The rule file currently includes rule sets for the following forms/reports:
Accounts Payable | Checks, Detailed/Summary Aging Reports |
Accounts Receivable | Detailed/Summary Aging Reports, Statements |
General Ledger | Balance Sheet, P & L Statement, Trial Balance |
Payroll Processing | Checks |
Purchase Order Processing | Purchase Order |
Sales Order Processing | Invoice, Picking List |
All modules | Generic Reports |
The generic rule set will enhance the top two heading lines to look like other enhanced reports.
When the rule file is installed, the following notes should be addressed:
- The company name and address used on forms are found in constants at the start of the
rule file and should be modified.
const COMP_NAME="Synergetic Data Systems Inc"
const COMP_ADDR1="2195 Talon Drive"
const COMP_ADDR2="Latrobe CA 95682"
const COMP_PHONES="530/672-9970 Fax: 672-9975"
const COMP_LOGO="sdsilogo.pcl"
If you wish to use a substitution file, you can set these constants to substitution file
values. For example:
const COMP_NAME=@company
As UnForm parses the rule sets, it will substitute the constants, and in turn will find the
substitution file reference and exchange that value for the named value from the
substitution file. This allows different printer aliases to refer to different
company data (by setting different '-s sub-file-name' options).
- To change the logo, change the constant COMP_LOGO to reference the proper file name. As long
as the logo is approximately the same size as the SDSI logo, there should not be any changes
required in the forms to accomodate placement. If you need to use both laser and PDF logos,
just use the same base name for both, like "acmelogo.pcl" and "acmelogo.pdf" and UnForm will
use the PDF logo where necessary, even if COMP_LOGO is set to "acmelogo.pcl". To turn off
logos entirely, just set LOGO_IMAGE="#image" to comment out the use of the image command for logos.
- The constant "SIGNATURE" found near the start of the file should be changed to point to the correct
file. If no signature is to be printed on checks then change the SIGNATURE_IMAGE constant to
"#image".
- Like the logo and signature constants, AP_MICR and PR_MICR constants can be modified to
comment out the "image" command. The correct accounts payable check MICR account # and payroll
check MICR account # should be placed in the AP_MICR_ACCOUNTNO and PR_MICR_ACCOUNTNO constants
if you enable MICR for checks.
- Set the number of AP and PR stubs to print to either 1 for one stub, or 2
for Payor and Employer stubs.
- For performance improvements on some forms, you can change any of the _FONT and _CFONT
constants to comment out the font commands used for form detail lines. For example, to speed
up printing of Statements, change the codes to look like this:
const AR_STMT_CFONT="#cfont"
Care was taken to insure the most professional looking reports through the use of proportional
fonts and justification. If speed is an issue when printing these reports, font commands can be
remarked out (#) to increase speed while reducing the enhancements.
Some forms are set up to print two copies with special copy titles like "Vendor Copy"
and "Accounting Copy". If your customer wants only one copy simply change the pcopies command
to 1. If your customer wants different copy titles then modify the if copy blocks. If your
customer wants more copies then increase the pcopies command and add or modify if copy blocks.
Some additional notes:
- If you encounter problems with multi-page forms, please produce a 'print to file' from
Addon of the data (multipage if possible), and send it to us at support@synergetic-data.com.
- Check rule sets should be tested with the customers bank.
