RE: Laser printing A/P checks

Bryan,

Once you learn overlays it is very easy to replicate them everywhere and
it only requires a basic editor like Word to get started. It has the
advantage unlike some packages in being totally iSeries based. If you go
to the next level, emailing, extracting or pdfing items I would suggest
a package as generic as possible to minimize the annual maintenance and
learning curve of various solutions.

In the iSeries area we use the suite of applications from BCD including
Progen and Websmart for application development and Catapult and Spool
Explorer for report manipulation. In the PC area we use CodeCharge,
Visual Studio and Crystal Reports to connect to, report on and
manipulate the data. 

Checks are a somewhat special case since you have to resolve issues
regarding serialization and security. 

Regards

Konrad

Subject: Laser printing A/P checks


Looking to replace a Decision Data 6550 line printer with a laser
printer for printing A/P checks.  Laser printing was my suggestion and
Accounting is open to the idea but would like some costs. Presently
print about 200
two-part AP checks a week on preprinted forms.   

Do we have to buy a forms package to accomplish this?  We presently hand
stamp the checks. What would be the ballpark price for a bare bones
forms package?

On the other hand, we also line print about 200 two-part invoices a day,
three-part BOL's on preprinted forms, and PO's on preprinted cut sheets
for a laser printer, so perhaps we should buy a package to do it all.

Any recommendations?
