Faxing From NAV 5.01

Elie

Hello;

How Can I Fax Sales Invoices from NAV 5.01? is it possible to use Windows Fax Serveces? How Can I pass the perameters (Customer Phone No, Name) without going through the wizard? is there an Automation or an OCX for that?
I have tried to serch the forum but couldn;t get an answare. Can you please help?

savatage, your good, that was a long time ago,

wish I could program, the info I found back then, I still haven't done.

Although it was good advice.

Elie

Thank you for your reply.

I did see the link that you mentioned, but it doesn't tell me how to Automate sending the Fax without going through the wizard every time I need to fax a Sales Invoice. Can you help?

Savatage

From what I read it seems like nobody was able to accomplish that, and other methods were eventually used. Have you looked at the add-on product on the last link? Or is converting to pdf & faxing a suitable solution for you?

Elie

I have looked at teh Add on product and they are asking too much for it.

Converting to pdf & faxing is a suitable solution for me. I know how to convert to PDF file but then how do i auto fax it?

Again. Thank you for your reply.

What's wrong with Zetafax?

Elie

Thanks David;

I'll be looking at ZetaFax. Can I use only the ZetaFax or do I have to get ZetaDocs too?

Is there any other cheaper solutions?

Thanks for your reply

Savatage

What's your price range?
You have to look at it as a long term investment in your company.
If you fax alot everyday then the cost becomes less and less everytime it is used.
If you only fax once in a while then you need to determine is the price of the solution worth avoiding the wizard.

The world is moving towards pdf->email IMHO for speed, ease & savings. I don't know how many other cheaper solutions are out there.

Elie

Well, we may end up using a fax software.

How is the pdf -> email works?

I know how to create a pdf document via bullzip printer and attach it to an email but can we fax the pdf document?

Thank you

We use a combination of eDocPrinter (pdf) and Gfi Faxmaker

The pdf is send as email attachment to a faxware user account. A faxware server picks this up and fax the pdf, doc, etc.

Thank you ajhvdb for your information.
