Re: For: Overrides on Purchase Orders (DaleGindlesperger@xxxxxxxxxxx) From: Mike Ellis / ISI

Mike,

That's the answer I needed.  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.....

Dale,

I have done E-mail from the system to Vendors.   At that customer we don't
use FAX at all.  But the problem is similar, I think.   We used Integrator
to make a Host Print option equivalent on the User Menu.   Had to simulate
the PO Print process in traditional MAPICS, but override things to go to
e-mail.  We use SPOOLMAIL to produce a PDF and then in our CL we attach it
to an e-mail.  The RPG involved grabs the e-mail for the vendor contact to
send the PO or short that, it sends the e-mail to the buyer's email
address.
