The Detail Box Display Files parameter defines the format of the display of the Detail Box in the lower left corner of the Purchase Transaction Item Entry screen, for each of the Purchase Transaction Types (Invoice, Order, Reserved). The fields and their format (location, font, size, color, etc.) are defined by the files PORDET#.DAT in the Data folder under the Keystroke installation folder (for Sales Transactions, the fields and their format are defined by the files TRNDET#.DAT in the same folder). These files can be edited using a standard text editor. The column positions must remain the same. The file Keystroke\Doc\DetBox.txt contains detailed information for customizing these files.
Note: Keystroke scans the Data folder for all files with name matching PORDET#.DAT (where # is a number from 1 to 99). Support for files #7-#99 allows for additional or custom designed files while retaining the use of the standard files (#0-#6). It is recommended that custom files use numbers above #9 so they won't conflict with any new standard files that may be introduced in future releases of Keystroke and use the numbers #7-#9.
None - Nothing is displayed in the Detail Box (PORDET0.DAT).
Line Item Comment - Displays the line item comment (PORDET1.DAT).
Item Detail - Displays detailed information about the line item and its price (PORDET2.DAT).
Item Qty Detail - Displays detailed information about the line item and its quantities (PORDET3.DAT).
Item Vendor Info - Displays detailed information about the line item and its Vendor costs (PORDET4.DAT).
Total (Large Print) - Displays the Purchase Transaction total in large characters (PORDET5.DAT).
Note: The Detail Box view may be changed (regardless of Purchase Transaction Type) by clicking in the Detail Box while on the Purchase Transaction Item Entry screen. Each click cycles the view through the available Detail Box view formats.
