Fax order exporter (scheduled task)

You can use this task to send orders by PDF fax and parameter files via a fax gateway.

The finished orders are saved on the server as PDF order documents and a control file is also provided, which contains the destination fax number, the fax number for replies, an e-mail address for status acknowledgements from the fax gateway and unique reference numbers for the order.

Pre-requisite: The po_print.xslt and poc_print.xslt forms are installed and the order.pdf and order.cancel.pdf forms are correctly configured under Control center/Companies/Forms.

“Individual” or “generic” can be selected as a Type.

• If "Generic" is selected, the task sends all orders for which the "Fax order exporter" ordering method has been selected in the basic contract.
• If you select "individual" orders are sent to the set supplier if "individual" has been selected as the order dispatch method in the associated basic contract.

Note: Two new files are located under the path specified in the task: *****.pdf and *****.prm. The ***** stands for the order number of the order created. The PDF file contains the complete order, in a form that can be faxed, while the PRM file contains the control data required to send the fax. The parameter designations in the control file are exactly the same as those that have previously been specified in the dialogue box for the scheduled task.

If status acknowledgements are to be edited, the "Fax order status check" scheduled task must also be set up.
