Invoices Report Overview
The Invoices Report screen in SapphireOne Inventory Sales Mode is used to produce reports on all Client Invoice data within SapphireOne. Invoices can be printed direct to serial prints and on different paper options included Letterhead Paper, Plain Paper, Plain PrePrinted Paper and Custom Advanced options.
When the Invoices Report is selected from the Inventory Sales Reports Menu, SapphireOne will present a print dialog screen for the user to select and customise the criteria and data they would like included within the report.
The user can select from the Print Destination, Report Type, Report Sort Order and Report Selection drop-down menus to determine the preferred report layout. Reports are created using a combination of the selected metrics.
Dictation and Speech to Text Overview
SapphireOne’s Dictation (MacOS) and Speech to Text (Windows) functionalities revolutionise data entry. These features are available for any data entry field and all inquiry screens within SapphireOne. For instance, when a user makes a call via the SapphireOne Softphone, SapphireOne automatically timestamps the contact and phone number. Post-call, users can dictate notes directly into the CRM contact memo field in relation to the stamp.
This functionality is applicable across all Data Entry screens. As examples, when entering a Vendor Invoice (VI), users can dictate memos directly. Similarly, additional lines can be added to the General Ledger account, with each line having a unique memo field. After an employee interview, users can efficiently dictate notes.
Speech to Text and Dictation are powerful tools that SapphireOne and its clients use daily, significantly saving time.
