Re: PO Printing Overrides / Changes -PowerLink andHost Print

Lisa and folks,

Did you add the button using Enterprise Integrator or Integrator?

I should have included in my original post -- we are using XA R7.7 with Integrator...not Enterprise Integrator. I would like to get EI...but I have not been able to justify the license upgrade cost...

Thanks for the ideas.

Chuck,
I needed something different (a different overlay for printing a Proforma versus a Quote). What I did was add a button in browser for them to press for each of these. When the button is pressed for the Proforma it changes the overlay name in the printer override record. When the button is pressed to print a quote it changes the printer override record to the quote overlay. It will stay on which ever overlay button was pressed last since you are just updating the data in the printer override record for the report.
Hope this helps!
Lisa

Kevin,

Thanks.

The issue I'm encountering with the CAS overrides is how to differentiate the output. Since the output is AM64MRP1 and the user is not changing, I don't think I can define an override to differentiate between when the user wants a 'draft' purchase order printed and when a user wants a 'signed' purchase order printed.

I have tried to create the 'fax' version using host print...but this appears to generate the same AM64MRP1. Within CAS...it would appear to generate AM64MRP4(?).

Can I add user exits to the print host jobs function with Integrator...or is it just available with Enterprise Integrator? I was looking at the purchase order objects...but they don't appear to have the 'function'. So I think (if I can do it in Integrator)...I am looking in the wrong place.

Chuck

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.

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.
