Print Processing Steps
The print processes consist of the data extract process, which copies bill data to temporary extract tables and print processes for generating each type of invoice. There are three types of print processes, which are SQR and BI Publisher reports. Each printing process selects bills from the extract tables that meet the requirements for the type of invoice it generates.
The delivered SQR programs combine invoice selection, layout, and formatting in a single, modular program. Most of the SQR programs can generate several forms of invoice within a given layout; however, separate SQR programs are used for consolidated versus nonconsolidated invoices, portrait versus landscape invoices, and summarized versus detailed invoices. Thus one SQR program prints consolidated, portrait, and detailed invoices, while another prints consolidated, landscape, and detailed invoices. Not every combination is available in the delivered SQR programs. For example, summarized invoices are only provided in landscape format.
BI Publisher invoices have two parts:
-
An Application Engine program which selects the invoices to process.
-
Report definitions, or templates, which define the format and the layout of the invoice
The print processes and queries can be modified to produce tailored invoice forms.
See Understanding Invoice Programming.
