How do I set up Invoice Reprints using TrueForms?

Invoices can be reprinted from the website. Web site requests are sent to your ERP System and then printed using TrueForms.

Pre-requisites

1. TrueForms Director is installed in your ERP environment
2. For PRONTO,  version 670 or above is required
3. A version of the Commerce Vision program proledb.spl dated after 27/11/13
4. Shell access to the ERP Server
5. A knowledge of ERP System Administration
6. UNIX editor skills such as vi skills

Step-by-step guide

1. In PRONTO ERP
   
   1. Ensure the latest proledb.spl import program is installed
   2. Set up a new entry in the $PRONTO/lib/printers file as follows:
      cssinvoice, type=trueform, lpr=/xxx/lbin/cssinvoice $1, no_ff, no_form_type,
      where xxx is the pronto directory (e.g. /home/pronto/lbin/cssinvoice would be the full path if /home/pronto was the PRONTO directory)
   3. cd $PRONTO/lbin
   4. vi cssinvoice
   5. insert the following code: (use i for insert)
      cat $1 >/tmp/cssinvoice 
   6. Save the file (:wq!)

   10. Access the Override program table (SYS.M359)

       1. CSS_EMAIL: set the the name of the virtual printer (from h. above)
       2. CSS_EM_FR: the name of the from address (e.g. accounts)
       3. CSS_EM_DM: the domain name (e.g. bhp.com.au) - this would make the full from email = accounts@bhp.com.au
