How AutoCount Bill Remark Plugin Works
1. Installing the Plug-In
To set up the AutoCount Bill Remark Plugin, navigate to Tools > Plug-In Manager and click Install. Browse for the Remark.app file, review the plugin details in the resulting window, and click Install once more. Finally, confirm the action by clicking Yes when prompted, and a success message will appear to verify the installation is complete.
Go to:
- Tools > Plug-In Manager
- Browse to Remark.app and install
You’ll see it appear once done.
2. Remark Maintenance
To maintain your remarks, go to Remark > Remark Maintenance and click Add to create a new entry. Assign a unique Remark Code, select the Type (Master or Detail), and enter your text into the Note box before clicking Save. When creating a document like an Invoice, use the Master button to update the header Note area or the Detail button to autofill an item’s Further Description with your preset templates.
This is where you create and manage your templates:
- Go to Remark > Remark Maintenance
- Click Add
- Enter:
- Remark Code
- Type (Master / Detail)
- Text
- Save
This central repository becomes the library of reusable texts.
3. Remark Selection in Sales & Purchase Documents
To apply remarks, open a document like an Invoice and click New to fill in the customer or supplier details. For header comments, click Master, select your desired code, and save to update the Note area. To add line-specific remarks, select an item and click Detail, then choose a code and save to populate the Further Description.
When making a document:
- For header messages: click Master
- For item-level comments: click Detail
- Select the code you want
- Plugin populates the text fields automatically
This makes entry much quicker and keeps everything consistent.
4. Automatic Remark Updating
You can set rules so that when you create quotations or sales documents, the system automatically fills footer remarks based on those rules saving time and improving consistency.
If you define rules to auto-apply footer remarks:
- The system populates them once the document is created
- No need to remember specific text
- Ensures compliance with company standards
