Topic: Form generation links

1. In whole FA system there is only one generic interface to print current company documents such as invoices, sales orders etc. There is no direct print link/button available for user after document processing. Why this standard feature is not implemented in FA?

2. What is form_items table for? I understand it was established as a table of all available forms for any generated transactions in system as at time of creation.
To fulfill this requirement the table should keep all data (for example bank account number for invoice) which can vary after document creation. But in form_items structure there are only 2 fields which are used to carry inventory location codes, which are anyway available from stock_moves table.

Re: Form generation links

Janusz, lets take these discussions in the Mailing List. I've created a list and it will be available within 24 hours.
There is always a reason why things are implemented in a specific way. All the reports are taken care of in a 2 click away report centre, where your last document is default for printing.
The form_items table is a left over from the former project, where they used a non published java based report generator. We are not using it at present, and could possible eliminate it in the future.
