Dale, We transmit PO's a number of ways - Print, Fax, EDI, etc. I have this set up so it is done automatically at Confirm Post time of PO creation. Basically, all you need to do is pick a POMAST user field (or create an extension file through Integrator) which will store the transmission type (P=Print, E=EDI, F=Fax, etc.), add the field to the PO Card(s), and modify the UMUPM* user exit programs to perform the custom logic (ie, override and call the MAPICS PO print pgm or call custom EDI or Faxing pgms, etc.) You can also have VENNAM/BUYERF user fields/extension files that allow you to set the transmit method by Vendor/Buyer and default into the PO (user exit pgms). This solution obviously takes some custom programming, but it's not a major effort.

Of course, JacanaForms is a great way to create produce the PO in an electronic format, and we can interface to a number of fax and email applications. The real question is do you want to configure your Vendors so each could be identified as fax, email, print or do your buyers want to choose every time a PO is printed? I have two suggestions, first, for integrated fax/email/etc, CISTech has recently built an interface to JacanaForms that can retrieve the fax number or email address or any additional data and pass it into JacanaForms. This is a great way to setup who gets fax/email/print and automate the entire process. You can also print local copies for receiving or accounting at the same time. The second suggestion is to produce a PDF document that is placed in a buyer's network folder, or routed directly to his PC (to a popup viewer), and then the buyer can fax/email/print from their desktop. A simple and cheap, if inelegant, solution. Please contact me off list if you wish to discuss further. Momentum is the developer of Info WorkPlace (IWP), JacanaForms and inTuator.

Is anyone out there faxing their POs directly from the system? We use Cornerstone Communication's Unifier as our fax server (have been since the early 90's), and want to (finally!) begin faxing POs directly rather than printing them and manually faxing them. (Our old Purchasing Manager that resisted all this "new stuff" has retired, now we can join the 21st century.) However, I need to allow our buyers to select print, fax, or e-mail (Unifier supports all 3) from the Browser Host Print or green screen. There is only one option available to me that I can see, print. That means I have to use the CAS Report Overrides to control printing. That's insufficient - I don't want an "all or nothing" approach. How have you good folk handled this? Just hoping to get a couple options before I start reinventing the wheel. I figure Eric (among others) has been down this road before.....

At this point, I don't have the luxury of changing (or acquiring) a different solution, especially when the solution I have will work for sending faxes or e-mails. What I needed was a user-selectable option for print or fax. If I understand, you used Integrator to make an alternate "Host Print" and had it call a different print process than AM64M? That's what I was afraid I'd have to do (not the alternate AM64M process, the alternate "Host Print"). How long did it take you? Due to corporate-mandated Browser stagnation for a 10-12 month period, I'm rusty on Integrator - just getting back up to speed. That's sort of a "use it or lose it" on the skill set.....
