Using Document Maker to Generate Sales Receipt

Suppose you are a sales specialist and after you have processed an order, you need to send an invoice or receipt (in .pdf format) to your customer. The invoice or receipt template and the file name should be consistent and based on your company policy.

Here is the Sales Order list containing all the details of the customer’s orders, including Product Name, Customer, Payment Method, etc.

The Customer column in the Sales Order list is a lookup colum, and the following list is the source list where the lookup column gets its information from.

Why do we need to set the Customer column as a lookup column?

The answer is that we need to use the additional fields of the lookup column to generate a receipt. We select Company Name, Street Address, ZIP Code, Phone, Customer ID as the additional fields in the lookup column settings.
