Fax«Star MAPICS/XA®
|
| Assistant Integration
with MAPICS |
|
|
MAPICS has the option to print Invoices, Purchase Orders, Order Acknowledgements
or any other documents that a company wishes to fax or email. Even
when they have customized those reports, many Companies do not
have the resources to change the reports to interface with a document
delivery system. Fax«Star has
developed a way to distribute these documents without changing a single
line of code. On the AS/400/ iSeries, the integrator function of the
Fax«Star Assistant offers automatic
handling of MAPICS spooled files. Depending on the spooled file attributes
the Fax«Star Assistant integrator
module applies a Split Rule to the Spooled File. This rule allows
the ability to define:
- When to detect a break in a spooled file (when the report
contains a new fax or mail address). It's very handy
when MAPICS produces several documents (like several Invoices
in the same report).
- Users who will manage the generated faxes.
- Information enabling the retrieval of the Recipient Fax Number
or Mail Address from the Mapics database. (In some circumstances
it may be necessary to write a small RPG program to perform this.
The Fax«Star Support team
has file programs if it is so needed.)
- The Cover Page to add in front of every fax or mail.
- The faxing mode (Portrait, Landscape, Attachments, etc.).
- A specific Logo and/or form overlay.
- Any documentation that must be attached, such as Terms and Conditions.
Depending on the APIs return code, Fax«Star
Assistant has a unique feature which allows the ability to create
a spooled file containing only pages that need to be sent via fax
or email.
