Setting up Crystal Reports software for use in JAS

Introduction

Crystal Reports is a Business Intelligence application used to design and generate reports from a wide range of data sources (from Wikipedia).

Certain JAS outputs use the Crystal Reports software for printing / formatting.  Most of the Standard JAS Forms Outputs (such as Invoices, Credit Notes and Order Confirmations) also have format versions that use Crystal Reports. Please contact Jonar to get samples of these format options.
