The Transaction description options dialog

To access this dialog:

Use these settings when you specify a field separator and other settings:

Field separation

No separation

No separator character is used between fields within a record in the transfer file. The length of each field of data is fixed.

Tab between fields

Tabs are inserted between fields of data.

Comma between fields

Commas are inserted between fields of data.

Other separator

Type a different character that you want INVOICES to insert.

Quotation marks

Quotation marks are inserted around:

  • Numeric fields of data resulting from system variables.

  • Alphanumeric fields of data resulting from system variables.

  • Alphanumeric fields of data resulting from invoice profile fields.

Numeric fields of data resulting from invoice profile fields will not have quotation marks.

Using quotation marks together with some other type of field separator gives the most information to the target system, since many systems will instantly know whether to treat a field as alphanumeric or numeric based on the quotation marks.

Compact

Prevents field values from being padded to their maximum length with the pad character indicated in the Properties dialog.

Batch report layout file

Adds batch variables that you defined yourself to the list in the Available fields box.
