If you need to print the Universal Document layout files (One (1) Layout file for all document types), it is recommended that these Document Type Types be edited and / or translated to the singular. The following files will print the document type in the plural (if it is not changed to the singular):

LabelID906276 - Document layout (10 codes)

LabelID906277 - Document layout (15 codes)

LabelID906278 - Document layout (No codes)

For example if you print an Invoice, it should display Invoice and not Invoices on the printed layout file.
