Sage 50 R&D thrive to improve the program at customer’s request. Over the years boxes have been added to the RL-1 and T4. Those additional boxes can be printed out automatically from the application. They are accessible when printing either T4 or RL-1 slips. In the printing process there is pop-up window: T4 box options or RL-1 box options. In that window there will be a drop down menu that list additional boxes, see below:
