Hello Everyone!Is there a way to automatically print an inventory usage when one is created either manually or thru work order planning? Interface purchase?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
Hi Paula, I've just finished building out a solution for something similar:
1. User clicks Menu item for Print Inventory Usage
2. Action calls an automation script which runs a BIRT report for the Usage record and saves the result as a PDF to the server.
3. Software (SilentPrint, in our case) picks up the PDF and silently prints it.
We're not printing directly from the client side as we're using handhelds which would not support this.
I'd like a better solution than SilentPrint for step 3. Ideally the automation script would send either the BIRT report output or the PDF directly to the printer, but I'd be OK with some other server-based way of printing the PDF.
If any of this would be helpful I'd be more than happy to share more detail.
