Using different printers for each purchase office

If your business partners also want to receive a hard-copy of the Request for Quotation document, you can use the printer of the purchase offices in the different locations to print the hard copy.

Use case:

  • Use the RFQ document type created earlier.
  • Create different print devices and add these to the document type. Based on the name of the purchase office, one of the print devices is used to create a hard copy of the Request for Quotation report.

Complete these steps:

  1. Start the Document Types (ttrpi2510m000) session. Select the RFQ document type and open its details.
  2. On the Print Devices tab, add a default device by selecting one of the available devices.
    This default print device is used if none of the other print devices has a valid expression.
  3. Add other print devices for each of your purchase offices. Add this code to the Condition Expression field:
    if #purchaseofficename# = "PUR001" then
           return(true)
    endif
    return(false)

    Replace the PUR001 with your own purchase office name.

  4. Save this record.
  5. Click Validate to validate the document type.
  6. Run the Request for Quotations session.
  7. Print two Request for Quotation reports for business partners who want a hard copy, from different purchase offices to the Document Output Management device. View the results.
