Hi All,

I’m wanting to use the PDF report created event, however I am struggling to see what the pdf-parameters attached to the event are linked to. The report I am wanting to use it with is the collective invoice report first, but there are other. I have tried setting the e-mail address up as myself and in the body of text of the e-mail selecting all the parameters but the e-mail was blank apart from my text input infront of each and the attached print. Can anyone help me please, thanks Sarah.

Hi Sarah,

We switched from “PDF Created” events to using report rules and it’s so much better.  Also, I think it’s the IFS preferred method to send emails out of the system.  The administrators benefit is that you can turn on report rule history and troubleshoot which conditions are being met to make adjustments to your rules.  Good Luck!!

Thanks,

Jim

@AussieAnders thanks for that information - shows why no parameters where in the e-mail it genertated as they have removed collective invoice print from the list of reports. 

@JHALLS thanks for the advise, I’ll have to look what we can do with report rules

Hi all

we used to use &REPLY_TO_USER as sender so our customers/suppliers could respond directly to such mails.

In Apps10 this worked flawless since Identity was created as firstname.lastname

in Cloud this no longer works, as identity is now either a random number, or 3 letter firstname/lasttime combination.

Any other variable that could be used?

Thanks

Dominik

Dominik,

We have several situations in cloud where we have to retrieve email address information for the report rule as there are no report attributes that contain email address information.  See the attached document for an example.
