Re: Need help excluding printed invoices for specific customers.

We had a requirement of emailing or faxing invoices to customers.  We
created two additional print files that were exactly like the one MAPICS
supplied and gave each of the record formats a new name.  Then we check to
see if the invoice should be printed, emailed or faxed based on the
customer and write the appropriate header.

You may be able to do something similar and just delete the spoolfile that
gets generated for customers you dont want to physically print.

Here is my situation.
We're implementing COM (migrating from Mapics DB) - and we have specific
customers that instead of printing their invoices, we need to write them to
a file for additional processing in other systems.

Here's the challenge - We're not doing EDI, and these invoices have to be
processed throughout the Mapics applications. All I want to do is exclude
the actual printing of the invoice for specific customers.

Now in Mapics DB, I modified the Invoice Print program (AMBIPR0R) to handle
writing these invoices to a file and excluding them from printing.

In COM, I've taken care of writing the invoices to a file with a User Exit
program, but I can't figure out how to exclude them from printing.

Thanks in advance,

Mark Taylor
