New features added, version 7.5.4, 8.4
Before running reports, the report output must be defined. Report output is defined using the Printer field on the main menu screen.
You can use the List of Values to select the desired report output. The List of Values displays the information entered in MUPM, Printer Definition Maintenance.
* To view the report on the screen, select SCREEN.
* You should not try to print a report that is displayed on your screen. The information will be truncated. If you wish to view the report before printing, first print the report to screen, then run the report a second time to a printer.
* To print the report to a printer, select the specific printer.
* DO NOT change the output on the Report Parameter form. If you do the report format will be truncated and part of the data probably will not appear on the report.
Oracle's native report format is bitmapped, which requires a postscript or HP PCL5 printer. NDS recognizes that many users do not have a postscript printer available, therefore all of the reports have been written and formatted as character.
* To drive the printer in character mode, the Mode must be set in the parameter form to 'Character'.
* The Default produces a bitmapped report. This is appropriate for display to the screen, but will not be formatted correctly on a non-postscript printer.
* By selecting the appropriate printer or the screen before running a report, the correct 'Desformat' (*.prt) file and mode are defaulted on page 2 of the parameter form. See Desformat in the Parameter Form Page 2 section.
A printer can be assigned to always print a certain report by entering the printer name in the Override Printer field in program MUJM, Menu and Job Parameter Maintenance. If a printer is assigned to the report, the report will always print on that printer no matter what printer is displayed on the printer field on the menu.
For more information on this option, see program MUJM, Menu and Job Parameter Maintenance.
Some business forms and reports have a placeholder logo that can be replaced with your company's logo. To replace the logo on the standard business forms and reports:
* Obtain a bitmap (.bmp) version of the desired logo.
* Name the file logohere.bmp.
* Place the logo in your custom directory.
Business Forms & Reports that use the custom logo include:
* ARIP, Invoice Print
* ARSS, Customer Statement Print
* OEAP, Print Order Acknowledgments
* OEASN, Advanced Shipping Notice
* OEPL, Sales Order Packing List
* OEPR, Sales Order Pick List
* OQQP, Quotation Print
