Re: Faxing Purchase Orders in PSoft

Jennifer,

I have successfully altered the standard sqr to support the MSXFAX Fax
server.  This program sends out faxes using Microsoft Outlook as the
facilitating agent.  That is, to send a fax, you send an e-mail to the fax
server's email address, which then processes the fax and sends it off.

The task was not easy and involved a high level of customisation of
POPO005.sqr.  It does work though and works well.

The way we did this was to generate each page of the Purchase Order as an
image file, which the fax server was then able to process and send.  We did
this using the Ghostscript program.  Once all the files were generated, we
then sent them out using a custom written C++ mail program.  All good
stuff!

If you want any more details, let me know.

Dean.

Has anyone set up their PeopleSoft Purchasing SQR (POPO005.sqr) to be used
with RightFAX (a fax software package)?
Any help greatly appreciated...

Thanks in advance,
Jennifer
