Reports - Narrative Text

You can add narrative text – comments that can be viewed throughout Micronet – to the Item master file, Debtor master file, Salesperson master file, and the Supplier/Creditor master file. Users can then view these comments by pressing F5 when they are creating or updating invoices, purchase orders, debtors and items. Users can view the narrative text either for entries created against their user ID or for all users.

Reference

For information about creating narrative text, refer to "Adding or Viewing Narrative Text".
