Print Resource Setup

The print resource and parameters are defined using the Print Resource Setup (IPRS) page. You can configure an Email print resource for certain procurement transactions to default the recipient, subject, message text, and sender information. The functionality to default the information applies only when you open the transaction, click the Print action within the transaction menu, and then select Email output.

The following recipient default is supported:

When you print Purchase Order (PO) type transactions, Master Agreement (MA) type transactions, Standard Requisitions (RQS transaction code), or General Routing (GR) type transactions to an Email print resource that has the EMAIL_TO_FIELD print resource parameter defined, it is used to default the recipient email address.
If the EMAIL_TO_FIELD print resource parameter is not defined and you are printing Purchase Order (PO) type transactions, Master Agreement (MA) type transactions, or Standard Requisitions (RQS transaction code) to an Email print resource, the recipient email address is defaulted to the email address from the transaction vendor if available.

The following subject, message text, and sender default is supported when you print Purchase Order (PO) type transactions, Master Agreement (MA) type transactions, Standard Requisitions (RQS transaction code), or General Routing (GR) type transactions to an Email print resource:

If the Email print resource has the EMAIL_NOT_CNFG_TYPE print resource parameter defined, which points to a valid External Email and Letter Configuration (ELGT) record, the ELGT’s Subject, Header Text, and Automatic Sender Email Address are used to default the subject, message text, and sender email address, respectively.
If the EMAIL_NOT_CNFG_TYPE print resource parameter is not defined or the ELGT record is not found:
Subject defaults to <Transaction Name> - <Transaction Code> - <Transaction Department> - <Transaction ID> - <Transaction Description>
Sender defaults from header’s Buyer email if available. If Buyer team is assigned, defaults to the email of the Buyer Team Manager.

Configuration Points:

Set up ELGT record(s) to store the default subject, message text, and sender information.

Define EMAIL_NOT_CNFG_TYPE and EMAIL_TO_FIELD print resource parameters for Email print resources that are used with Purchase Order (PO) type transactions, Master Agreement (MA) type transactions, Standard Requisitions (RQS transaction code), or General Routing (GR) type transactions.
