The Standard Messages screen is where the user defines product-related messages to be displayed at the Point-of-Sale or Manual Orders screen when an item is added to an order.
Once messages have been defined here, they are assigned to individual products at the Miscellaneous tab of the Inventory screen.
An unlimited number of product messages can be defined, but only three Standard Messages can be assigned to a single inventory item.
