Re: PO Printing Overrides / Changes - PowerLink and Host Print

Kevin-

At R7.8 I can't see how to add user exits to an Infor supplied Host Print. Is this something that is at R9 or was option 2 about creating your own host print from scratch?

A couple of very quick solutions:

1. Host Print jobs still use the CAS Printer Management functions. So you can control the output queues and overrides from there.
2. If CAS Printer management is not enought, it is quick and easy to add user exits to the print host jobs functions using Enterprise Integrator.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] PO Printing Overrides / Changes - PowerLink and Host Print

Hello.



I want to allow authorized users to print and email purchase orders
they create to themselves. The 'wrinkle' I am struggling with is I
want the user to be able to print the purchase order with or without a signature.
The user is authorized to print and sign the purchase order. However,
we want the user to be able to print 'draft' / 'interim' versions of
the purchase order without a signature...similar to our physical
signature process.



I was planning to send the purchase orders to an outq called 'draft' if
a signature is not required....and an outq called 'signed' when the
signature is required. If working with the spool files...this is
straightforward...but our users generally print using host print in
Power-Link...and most never sign on to the iseries to change an outq.



I'm not aware of any method for user's to change outq within
Power-Link...



Changing the form type would work well too..



I am looking for ideas or guidance...perhaps I can call the XA purchase
order print program from another option or integrator object...and
override the form type on the PO?



Thank you for any help or insight.
