Resizing the Line Items Frame and Fields

Before you begin arranging the fields on the Line Items frame, you should resize the frame so that it is the same width as the Invoice Details frame. When this form is compiled into a translation object, the fields will be arranged according to how the frames and the fields contained on them were arranged when the form was compiled. You should eliminate unnecessary space as you arrange the fields on each frame.

Use this procedure to resize the line items frame and fields.

  1. Click the ILD group to display the Line Items frame in the Layout Window.
  2. To resize the Line Items frame, click and drag the right side of the frame to the 14 cm mark on the ruler.
  3. To display more of the form on your screen, drag the center bar between the EDI File Format Window and the Layout Window to the left until the Layout Window is wide enough to display as much of the form as you want.
  4. Select the following fields and select Display > Size to Length.
    • Item No.
    • Quantity

    The selected fields are resized to the lengths specified in the Maximum number of characters box of the Display dialog for each field.
