Fax Cover Page

Select a fax cover page if some of the rebate agreements that you are dispatching are to be sent by fax. Define fax cover letters in the system on the Fax Cover Letters page.

The Vendor Rebate Dispatch process writes to the fax control file the file name that is associated with the selected cover letter combined with the cover letter file extension that you defined on the Dispatch Configuration page.

Note: Support for fax cover pages is purely a function of the fax software that you use. Please consult the fax software supplier to identify the limitations and capabilities of the fax cover page support in the software.

Dispatch Methods to Include

Description

Test Dispatch

Select to perform a test run of the dispatch. When you select this option, the process runs, but the rebate agreements that are processed do not appear in Dispatched status, and the rebate agreements are printed with the word Unauthorized at the bottom. This enables you to test the email or fax setup without updating the system.

Print Copy

Select to produce a printed copy of each processed rebate agreement. If any of the processed rebate agreements are by phone, fax, or email, the system prints a hard copy for review.

Print Duplicate

Select to print the word Duplicate on each rebate agreement.
