Fax

fl

Hello,

I'm looking for a solution to directly fax Purchase Orders instead of printing them on paper and afterwards sending them one by one on fax. I'm NOT looking for sending a fax by a solution where I need to send it one by one and adding everytime the fax number manually. I want to develop a possibility to send several POs in one batch where if a fax number is present on the Vendor record, the fax will directly be sended to the Vendor. For this reason I need a 'fax printer' or something simular where I can add the number automatically from the the vendor record, so that this printer knows what to do on the moment the PO is printed.

Who knows or has experience with such a fax driver, please repy. I'm also happy to receive workarounds

Thanks

Look here: http://www.tobit.com
We use this software for years successfully in connection with Navision.

Some faxprinters recognize the zetafax font. You then would have to add the fax no. on the report with this font and the fax will dial the number.

Thats what i understood.

Never tried it though.

You can review the add-on we've developed for automated e-mailing/faxing at http://www.altusbusinesssolutions.com.

It would require some custom development work on top of the add-on framework to handle batch transmission...it is on a one-by-one basis at this point.

Hi

We have been using Navision since 1998.. and last year migrated to 3.60. We have had our invoices, statements and puchase orders modified to allow us to sent them by fax (batch runs). The Fax software we have is Zetafax..

We modified the reports sued for Invoices etc to include a
CASE SendInvOption OF function and use a Fax Email Management code unit..

Was not too difficult to do.. If you would like more info please emails me.

Cheers

Hi,

See how it works in Navision - Reationship Management.

1. Open a Contact Card;
2. Click on Create Interaction;
3. Select an Interaction Template with attachment on the first page of the Wizard;
4. Select the Correspondence Type = Fax on the third page.
5. Click on Finish - if you have fax number defined on the Contact's Card - the fax will be sent to this number.

See Codeunit 5054 WordManagement for details:

CASE TempDeliverySorter."Correspondence Type" OF
  TempDeliverySorter."Correspondence Type"::Fax:
    BEGIN
      wrdDoc.MailMerge.Destination := 3;
      wrdDoc.MailMerge.MailAddressFieldName := Text015;
      wrdDoc.MailMerge.MailAsAttachment := TRUE;
      wrdDoc.MailMerge.Execute;
    END;

I heard about some kind of a White Paper about how to set up faxing in Navision - RM... May be your NTR or NCS may help with that?
