Select the parameters for your print request.

When the BPA Transaction Print Program or BPA Balance Forward Print Program runs, it launches one or more child programs, depending on the number of transactions to print. Based on your responsibility, you can submit print request of transactions across operating units you have access to. The child program generates one PDF file for each group of transactions and stores it as the output file of the concurrent program. You can direct this file to a designated printer, using the standard functionality available for concurrent programs. You can view this file at any time and reprint it manually.

For a print request, you must specify at least one of the following parameters:

• Operating Unit

• Customer Number Low

• Customer Number High

• Bill To Site Low

• Bill To Site High

• Bill Number Low

• Bill Number High

• Concurrent Request ID

• Print Template

BPA launches a number of child programs based on the number of transactions to print. A new concurrent program parameter Job Size lets the user define the number of transaction to print per child program. The default value is 500.

For example, if there are 1000 transactions to print, by default BPA launches two child programs, each with an output file of 500 transactions. This may be altered by user to print all 1000 transactions in one single print program.

Printing Attachments

To print attachments while printing a transaction specify a document category in the AR: BPA Print Attachment Category profile option. You do not need to add the attachment content item to a template in order to print an attachment. When a transaction prints, any associated attachments in the specified document category prints automatically. This applies to templates created in BPA as well as external templates. Attachments must be in PDF format. For further details, see AR: BPA Print Attachment Category and Registering Attachment Categories.
