[SL] Vendor Returns - Printing Debit Memo

[Bill F. <fa...@po...>]

I have a question about vendor returns.

The way we have dealt with returns to vendor is to open up the vendor 
invoice containing the item for return, editting it to have a negative 
quantity for the amount we are returning, including price, date it with 
the date of the return, place some verbose notes in the "Notes" field 
documenting why it is being returned, and "Post as New".  This we consider 
to be a Debit Memorandum, a copy of which we would give to the vendor 
along with the return.

If we wish to have a replacement, then we issue a new purchase order for 
the items.

This technique has worked well with one exception.  I know of no good way 
to print out the Vendor Invoice reversal, that is, the Debit Memorandum. 
Since you don't normally print out Vendor Invoices, there is no nice 
"Print" button with a LaTeX form.  I have tried just printing the screen 
from the browser, but my Mozilla and Firefox do not properly print out the 
comments in the "Notes" field -- they are clipped.  I have also tried 
Lynx, without joy.

What I would really like is a "Print" button for the vendor invoices which 
would allow me to print them out (or email) as a nice "Debit Memorandum".

Any ideas or comments on this?
