Modifying the RFF Group

The standard allows the RFF group (Reference) to be used up to 10 times in one invoice. If the invoice were generated now, the fields associated with the RFF group would be displayed on a separate frame than the majority of the invoice fields. You need two iterations of the RFF group, each with a maximum use of one. You will enter the purchase order number and date in the first RFF group and the contract number and date in the second RFF group.

You need to split the RFF group to obtain a second iteration of the RFF group (the new RFF group will be named RFF:2), then you need to change the maximum use of the original group (RFF).

Use this procedure to modify the RFF group.

  1. Right-click the RFF group and select Split.
  2. Click Yes at the prompt.

    The system displays the Split dialog.

  3. In the First Loop Entries box, enter 1 to indicate that you want the RFF group to be split after the first iteration.

    The resulting split will generate one RFF group (RFF:2) that has a maximum use of one, and will retain the original RFF group (with a maximum use of nine).

  4. Click OK to exit the Split dialog.
  5. Right-click the RFF:2 group and select Properties.
  6. On the Display tab, select Promote group to parent frame to display the fields in this group on the same frame as the fields in the parent group.
  7. Click OK to exit the Group Properties dialog.
  8. Right-click the RFF group and select Properties.
  9. On the Looping tab, enter 1 in the Max Usage box to designate that this group can be used only once per invoice.
  10. On the Display tab, select Promote group to parent frame to display the fields in this group on the same frame as the fields in the parent group.
  11. Click OK to exit the Group Properties dialog.
