XML Settings

E-Mail Command

The Commercial Invoice Document is a form you must provide as a customs declaration for items you are exporting across international borders. The form must contain specific and required information about the seller, buyer, and goods/services, and it is typically used to calculate tariffs. Distribution SX.e enables you to create a Commercial Invoice Document. Use the Sales Commercial Invoice Print Report to print the Commercial Invoice Document. The report generates an XML file that can be imported by a printing solution, such as unForms or NowDocs. In the E-mail Command field, as part of enabling this document, you can specify the script to email the document to the printing solution. Typically, the script command is xmlprint.sh, or xmlprint.bat for Windows Server.
