Haylee Benton Updated by Haylee Benton

By definition, a Flag is a programmers term for a control of information or the outcome of particular operations.  In terms of shopVOX, Flags are used to determine Yes/No of a Setting.  This article covers Flags that will determine if information is printed on the Customers PDF documents.NOTE: The Show Internal Flag is usually located in the same place as the Print on xxx PDF 

POS Settings Flags

These are located here...

Show BOM Details on Customer PDF >>> This flag controls to show any BOM (Bill of Materials) or not on the end customer PDF. If you do not want any Material/Labor/Machine rates to show to end customer on any of their PDF's uncheck this flag.

Show Qty on BOM On Customer PDF >>> This flag controls whether to show how much QTY of any Materials/Labor/Machine rates to show on the customer PDF.

Example: You want to show what "Substrate" is used (Enable the flag, "Show BOM Details on Customer PDF" = True) but do not want to show how much of it is used in the pricing calculation, then this flag (Show Qty on BOM On Customer PDF)should be set to false(unchecked).

For Apparel industry, you should have this flag enabled since you want to show them how many garments are being made, you should enable this flag (Show Qty on BOM On Customer PDF) to be true.

Show Custom Item on Customer PDF >>> This flag controls whether to show or not if you have added any of the Material/Labor/Machine charges on the fly which does not have a setup. If this flag is set to Yes, then this will show up on the customer PDF by default.

Material/Labor/Machine Flag

.These Flags can be found by going to Company name >> POS Settings >> $ Pricing >>

These Flags are located at the bottom of the Edit Screen(near the Save button) for a Material/Labor/Machine Rate..
