Report Printing on Multiple Printers

JWL5537

Hi, we are currently printing multiple copies of the sales order and then manually distributing the various copies to different departments. Is there a way to program the sales order based on location code to print x number of copies to different network printers?

So when a sales order is submitted in location 1, it prints to various printers in location 1.

Thanks for the help.

You can set up the printer selections (Navision 4.0 - Administration -->Application setup --> General --> Printer selection) to assign for the user, the report id, and the printer it should print to.

Now if you want the same sales invoice to print in multiple places you could setup a second (or third) report the same way, (just copy the invoice report) to print when you post the invoice

goto Administration --> Sales & Marketing --> Report Selections

and from there assign the report you want to print for the sale invoice.

Currently whene we print the sales order, the user selects the printer to print on. I think your solutino would work for that piece of the puzzle. However, they print 4 copies of this report and then have to walk these to different areas of the plant. 1 in accounting, 1 to parts, 1 to production, and so on. Is there a way to have it print on all 4 printers at the same time?

Make 4 different Sales Invoice
the original navision report 10074 - Sales Invoice
and then create three more in your report range
50001 - Sales Invoice - Accounting
50002 - Sales Invoice - Production
50003 - Sales Invoice - so one and so one

they can all be copies of the original report, open the original report in the report designer and select save as and change the name and number to the new report you need.

Now that you have your different reports
goto Administration --> Sales & Marketing --> Report Selections
and from there assign the report you want to print for the sale invoice.

when you select sales invoice, you can add your additional reports there. Every report you add here will print each time you post and print the sales order

This is kind a crude way to do it, but it doesn't require any programing changes and will not require anything special if you later upgrade.
