Themes have two purposes:
- For setting logos and footer texts for outgoing documents like sales order acknowledgements or dispatch documents.
- A theme is related to a single business unit, and a business unit is related to a single company. By specifying a theme, this also ties the order to a particular business unit or company in a multi company environment.
By default every Manu Online account has at least one company, one business unit and one theme.
Reasons to use multiple themes in a single business unit/company:
- To set footer addresses on sales and dispatch documents when using a separate warehouse or dispatch location from the main address, for instance to help customers make returns to the correct address.
- When manufacturing "white label" goods where the customer's logo and address should be used on documents. In this case consider also setting the "default theme" field on the partner card for the customer so that the correct theme is used a sales order entry time.
Setup
To set this up, there has to be a partner to where the theme can be linked. This provides the address details that will be used on the footer of documents. Create the partner first.
Go to Admin - System settings - Themes to add logo and link it to partner
Using other theme on a sales order
Set the theme and select delivered from location in your Sales order header-tab.
With these settings the theme logo and linked partner information is printed on Sales order acknowledgement and dispatch papers.
