Redwood: Configure Document Output Preferences for Receiving Documents

Document output preferences allow you to automatically route documents to a designated delivery method, such as a specific printer or email address based on user name, job role, organization, or subinventory. Efficient management of receiving documents is critical for smooth warehouse and inventory operations.

Now, you can use document output preferences to automatically route receiving documents to a selected printer, email, or fax. This feature allow organizations to define how receiving documents, for example, receipt traveler reports, are automatically routed to designated delivery methods. It ensures that printed or emailed documents reach the right place at the right time, minimizing manual intervention and improving process efficacy.

This feature is available by default and doesn’t require any additional steps. You can access and configure this feature using Receiving Document Output Preferences task from the Setup and Maintenance work area. However, it becomes functional after you configure it.

Using the new Receiving Document Output Preferences page, you can:

• Search for and view receiving document output preferences.
• Create receiving document output preferences that allows you to define options, such as email, fax, and printer.
• Update or delete existing receiving document output preferences.

Tips And Considerations

• Put away transactions created from mobile devices will be excluded from this job, and receipt travelers will not be printed for them.
• If the user selects only Print Receipt Traveler in the receiving parameters, the system will spawn the Print Receipt Traveler scheduled process but will not print the document automatically.
