RE: Suggestions wanted on reducing time to assemble month-end invoices

To add to the total mix of solutions, we use Formserver/400 (for many
years), and our different forms are merged together on a Pitney Bowes sorter
& inserter, reading the barcode Formserver adds to each . This is an
insurance company and that EOB (explanation of benefits) you get after each
& every medical visit is often merged with either a check or other docs, and
we can do thousands daily. It takes one person to print the stuff and one to
handle the sorter/inserter - couple hours.. One of our sister companies, on
another platform, is still lining up multiple people and many tables for
the daily sort and stuff (not pretty).

Thanks, Justin - that helps!

The most recent case, we had a *SCS spooled file, a *USERASCII spooled

file and a PDF for each order. We just sent them to the OUTQ with the three
for a given order back-to-back. Originally, the *SCS, *USERASCII and PDF's
all came from separate programs, so we had to change the process to create
all the documents for a single order together.

We do not use separator pages. The documents themselves are distinct

enough to server as separators.

In the OUTQ, the spooled files look like this:
*SCS-Order#123
*USERASCII-Order#123
*PDF-Order#123
*SCS-Order#456
*USERASCII-Order#456
*PDF-Order#456
*SCS-Order#789
*USERASCII-Order#789
*PDF-Order#789

Hi Justin

A little more detail, maybe - do you mean each statement and associated

invoices are one document?

And did you include am easily-recognizable separator?

The invoice run precedes the statement run - and there are other processes

in between - I don't know yet if those have any bearing on the statement
run.

Thanks
Vern
