Eric,
I believe you can accomplish holding the print for specific customer's
using a couple of methods.
If you are using the print API for the invoices you could simply utilize
the method of updating the customer master record's number of invoices
field or create your own exception record. This way would be the
easiest.
However, if you are using the standard MAPICS invoice print program, you
could use a spool scrape program. Theoretically, the spool scrape will
take your spool file and dump it into a data file. Using a simple RPG
program, you can then read the actual printed invoice document to
determine if you are to print it or not. If so, then you can simply
reread your spool file and send it to a printer outq. If not, then
simply allow the spool data file to be deleted. The one issue I see
here is how would you want to handle reprints?
Something to think about.

subject: [MAPICS-L] Holding specific COM Customer invoices from
printing
To the list,
Does anyone know of a way to hold certain customer invoices from
printing? These are none EDI customers. In an effort to cut costs and
reduce the postage expenses, we already have an add-on to XA that allows
the customers to view their own invoices and print them.
Someone tried setting the number of invoices field in the Customer
master to zero, but that prevents you from ever printing it.
TIA,
Eric

Barb,
Would I be correct in saying that when an archive and delete is
performed, the functionality that is lost is the ability to inquire into
the records from screen AMBM20, and to reprint an invoice? I know that
OEITXN is untouched by the purge, so not everything is lost.
Thanks,
Bryan Burns

The following temporary MB* files are built in AMTLIBx when doing an
'Archive and Delete' of COM history:
MBDHRES1 MBDICPP MBDICPS0 MBDICPS1 MBEJREP MBEJRES0 MBEJRES1
MBF9CPP MBF9CPS0 MBF9CPS1 MBF9REP MBF9RES0 MBF9RES1 MBGACPP

MBGHCPS0 MBGHCPS1 MBGICPP MBGICPS0 MBGICPS1 MBHXCPP MBHXCPS0
MBHXCPS1 MBH7CPP MBH7CPS0 MBH7CPS1 MBJNREP MBJNRES0 MBJNRES1

MBKHCPS0 MBKHCPS1 MBKJREP MBKJRES0 MBKJRES1 MBKNCPP MBKNCPS0
MBKNCPS2 MBKXREP MBKXRES0 MBKXRES1
They are deleted by the job when it completes normally or is cancelled
with F24 when you are prompted for a tape.
Check the order archive control records (MBGCCPP and MBGDCPP) to see if
you have a control record that matches the range you're trying archive.
This may indicate a previous archive and delete ended abnormally. If so,
you will want to delete the control record.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] MB* files in AMTLIBy
Are MB* files supposed to be in AMTLIBy libraries at all times, or are
they built when running an "Archive and delete" of order shipments?
I'm testing the deletion of order shipments and my testing is failing
with "No orders selected" and the joblog is showing that that the job
can't find them. Sure enough there're aren't any MB* files in our
AMTLIBy libraries. What do you show?

hello eric, dennis here in chile. the nature of the beast here in south
america is similar. what i did was set up a dummy/nonexistant default
printer and
sent all those i did not want to print to that printer when finance
went to
the print select screen after COM pick/ship. Have the customer directed
to
the dummy printer and then copy/paste for their printout....be
careful,,,...the
file grows quickly!!!! Also, security may be an issue as to who can
view
what.....customer number is how we solved that when wanting access to
print.

Hey Dennis,
That would be easy if a specific user Id was used to print those
selected customers. Here the Shipping Department processes all invoices
so this would be difficult. I think I have come up with a solution that
requires very little programming. Here it is:
1) Set the customer master Invoice copies to zero.
2) Write an End-of-Day program that reads all those records by Customer
(for a specific date) and sends an email (from the
iSeries/SeriesI/AS400) listing all the invoices that were created for
the day.
3) Set the Print Count field in MBF9REP to a 1 so that the customer can
print the invoice -or- we can reprint it if necessary.
'Bout a half day of programming and testing.
Eric

We use FormsPrint as well. How do you distinguish between those
customers that you want to print and those that you do not? Using the
REPRINT heading is easy when you are reprinting it but...
