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

You might want to look at Pitney Bowes inserters.

They seem to have solutions for every size operation.

Good stuff. Not too pricey.

I'd take a look at DICER from Gumbo Software. I tested it quite some time
ago for a similar requirement. It worked fairly easily. To quote from
their web site.

As examples, these capabilities allow you to:
Merge a spooled file containing customer invoices with a spooled file
containing the related packing slips, sorting by customer number. The
resulting spooled file will contain each customer's invoice and related
packing slip as consecutive pages eliminating the manual effort required
to collate the original spooled files.
In the above example, you can specify that a separate spooled file be
created for each customer.

If you created the separate spool files for each customer, you could

then

direct different sizes to different print queues.

i.e. <=X pages FOLDS >X pages FLATS.

They also offer a free DUMPSTER utility.

Neither I nor Canon has any business relationship with Gumbo Software.

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
