Summary of the Print, Fax, and Email Document Subprocesses

To view the properties of the Print Document Process or the Fax Document Process, select its process activity in the navigator tree, then choose Properties from the Edit menu. This subprocess has a result type of PO Activity Performed, indicating that when the subprocess completes, it has a result of Activity Performed. This result corresponds to the lookup code in the PO Activity Performed lookup type, in the PO Standard item type.

Print Document Process

The subprocess begins at node 1.

Node 2 checks if Print was selected in the Approve Document window when the purchase order was first submitted for approval. If Print was selected, node 4 prints the document.

Fax Document Process

The Fax Document Process looks and behaves like the Print Document Process except that node 2 checks if Fax was selected in the Approve Document window. If Fax was selected, node 4 automatically sends a facsimile of the document if a Fax Number was also entered in the Approve Document window. (If a Fax Number was not specified, the document is sent to your facsimile server once it is approved. Depending on your CommercePath setup, you can choose where or when to send the documents that are stored on your facsimile server.)

CommercePath, or any facsimile software that uses the CommercePath Fax Command Language (FCL), must be installed to use the facsimile functionality.

Email Document Process

The Email Document Process looks and behaves like the Print Document Process except that node 2 checks if Email was selected in the Approve Document window. If Email was selected, node 4 automatically sends an Email of the document if an Email Address was also entered in the Approve Document window.
