The Printable Documents Framework

The Printable Documents Framework enables the creation of a real-time, printable document within the context of any online transaction. This printable version functionality is a common web feature that removes non-printable content from a web page (such as images, frames, buttons) for ease of printing. This framework removes the need to schedule a job to produce simple, straightforward transactional reports for printing. This printable version functionality supports these transactions:

• Counter sale goods receipt.

• Counter sale pick plan.

• Deposit refund.

• Cash drawer receipt.

If you want to add printable version functionality to any other online transaction in the system, you can leverage the Printable Document Object to assist you with this type of configuration.

Note:

To view the goods receipt, pick plan, deposit receipts, and cash drawer receipts, you will need to grant full security access to the Web Libraries on your permission list for the iscripts located in the web library WEBLIB_SCM_UTIL. These iscripts are HTMLAREA.FieldFormula.IScript_isPrintReady and HTMLAREA.FieldFormula.IScript_PrintDoc.

The Style Repository within the Printable Document Framework provides the ability to define the stylesheet to use with the Printable Document Framework reports. In addition, this repository allows you to customize the stylesheets and override a given stylesheet for reports at the business-unit level so that a different look and feel can be created for reports for each business unit.

Note:

The Printable Document Style component is shipped as system data and should be updated by the developers adding reports to the Printable Document Framework. You populate the Printable Document Style By Business Unit component if you want to change the default stylesheet by business unit for a report within the Printable Document Framework.
