Print orders by option with different size scales in a matrix

Orders can be printed with one style (item) number per row of an order with a different quantity of each size in a separate column. Options other than size can be configured this way but, must only use option 2 for the quantities that will be printed horizontally. Up to 12 columns (size) option quantities are support in portrait mode and 20 columns will be supported in landscape mode

Multiple scales of measurement are also supported on one order e.g. XS, S, M, L... and 28, 30, 32...

2) You can substitute a different option description for "Color" option 1, and/or "DIM" in option 4.

Scale options 3) Double-click on the <Scale> option and enter up to a 3 letter abbreviation of the measurement scale for up to 3 scales. In the example, scale "A" is designated as <Row> 1, "W" as <Row> 2, and "X" as <Row> 3 at right. This determines what label is show at the left end of the 3 rows of size scales.

If the Scale is "A", you can not have an "A" size option selection or Scale "M" and a size "M".
