RE: Printing MAPICS Purchase Orders

How many hours did it take to implement?

Is the ability to make changes to the form transferable to other technical
staff or can users make the change as needed?

If you have any experience with overlays, which are really easy once you do
one, you
can create an overlay from your existing form, add an override to the P.O.
form and
print it on an IPDS capable laser printer.  This is the approach we took and
it is
working fine for us.  Certain vendors needed the boilerplate(terms,
conditions,
etc.) so we did photocopy just the boilerplate section and either print the
P.O. on
the other side or if we forget to change forms, just staple a copy to the
P.O.  This
approach cost virtually nothing to implement because we already had the IPDS
printer.  Hope that helps!

We have used multiple Okidata impact printers to print multipart forms in
our Purchasing Department for years, we would like to move to forms-less
printing of P.O.s on laser printers. NOW 2 of the impact printers decided
to turn 'flaky' at the same time.   What is the easiest, most reliable
solution to grab our MAPICS P.O.s merge them with a standard (un-modified)
MAPICS P.O. form and send them to a laser printer?  Thanks.
