Enter Note

Explanation

A note can be used, as means of passing on information to someone, who will process the object later. Another area of use is to make personal notes and comments for internal reference only. The major difference between notes and document texts is that notes never are printed out.

A note can consist of up to 2000 characters.

You can link the note to the header or to each line separately. However, in some documents you can link a note only to the header and in some only to the lines.

When a note is linked to a header, the Note check box on the header is marked. When a note is linked to the line, the Note check box on the line is marked. Observe, however, that check boxes do not always exist.
