Users can enter an account code into a blank field when they place an order. An example of the window that the user will view is shown below. If you use this feature you can also select to check the entries by validating the account codes.
If the option "Users enter an account code in a text box" is selected without validate, any information entered in the text box is passed through to the PrintStation. However, even if a correct code is entered the account name and description is not shown as the code has not been checked against an internal or external account code list which includes those details. It is therefore advised that if you use a list of account codes that you select the option to validate the account code entered to ensure that all the correct information is available.
Example showing the page presented when the option to manually enter an account code is selected.
The option to enter a mask for the account number when users manually enter the account code, name or description is only available when the accounts page is shown separately. You cannot validate the entry if you want to apply a mask and the portal configuration Checkout Mode should not be set to 'Combine Address Delivery and Accounts'.
