Creating a New Document Type in EMDI
- Go to the gray gear icon ⚙️ for EMDI settings.
- Once in settings, navigate to Purchases/Sales 🔴 -> Documents in the left-hand column.
- In the Documents section, click the padlock icon 🔒 at the top left to unlock creation and editing functions.
- Press the Add button with the ➕ symbol. If the document you want to create is similar or identical to an existing one, you can simply select it and press Copy.
- Important! If you copy a document, make sure you’ve entered the number 1 in the Number column. Also, in the Series column, if the Document Correspondences* in myDATA are the same, you must enter a different series from the one you copied (e.g., if it had no series, you could enter A).
- A new document line will be created at the bottom of the list.
- In the Title column, type the document’s title (e.g., Invoice, Delivery Note, Retail Receipt, etc.).
- In the Cash Register column, select which cash register the new document should belong to (e.g., Cash Register for sales and Incoming for purchases).
- In the Movement column, choose which movement you want to occur when the document is recorded:
- Purchase/Import of goods
- Sale/Export of goods
- None
- Purchase/Import without movement
- Sale/Export without movement
- Collection
- Payment
- In the subsequent columns, select whether the document should be printed, which printer it should print to, and the print form it should use.
- Once you’ve completed the above selections, click the Save button 💾 at the top of the menu to store your changes.
The new document is now available under Purchases/Sales 🔴 in the program, specifically within the cash register you assigned it to in the previous steps.
