Set Print Format based on field value (e.g. Supplier)

ERPNext
1

Hi ,

Could anyone suggest how to set a print format based on the value of a field? For example, let’s say I have a custom print format that I want to be automatically selected whenever a PO is issued to a particular supplier?

It would have been much easier if there was a field under the Print Settings section in transaction documents where we can select Print Format (just like Letter Head and Print Heading). I’m not sure why this isn’t available

Thanks

You can set default print format for a particular document, say, Purchase Order in the Print Format itself. (“Make Default”)

However, for it to be as per a docfield, say Supplier, will request you to create a feature request here

Hi @wale I came across to this discussion. Do you have any work around for this? I am also seeing the same concern. I hope you can assist me on this. Thank you.

Hello. I was just looking for the same thing as I have suppliers that needs specific formats that differ.
Then I saw that @wale created the feature request, which was ignored and eventually automatically closed.
Hmmm, what now?
