These instructions are intended for MV Software personnel, but advanced users might also be able to follow them.
E-Delivery means emailing or faxing invoices instead of printing them on paper.
Most likely someone from MV Software should use this page to add the printers. There are user friendly setup instructions that explain how the customer can set the parameters and edit the customer memos.
We keep e-delivery email addresses and fax numbers in customer and "alt ship-to" memos prefixed with different tags so the program will know which is an email address and which is a fax number.
| example: | .EIVC support@mvsoftware.com for email addresses |
| .FIVC 2485832553 for fax numbers |
Parameter settings:
oecust.ini
See the O/E task # "32.22.8 Custom Options". This is where we configure the e-delivery details for invoices. If the customer's oecust.ini file does not contain these parameters you should add them from mvs:/u/mvs/dsk0/250001/oecust.ini

Background batch printers:
You'll need to add 2 background printers. 1 for emailing invoices and 1 for faxing invoices.
The user does not select these printers. They are are pre-assigned to the program via the oecust.ini parameters EDELIVERY'EML'PRINTER and EDELIVERY'FAX'PRINTER

Install blat.exe email client for Windows.
Check %MVS_ROOT%\win32\bin\blat_install.bat contents. If the file does not exist, or if it's contents refers to our own email server mail.mvsoftware.com then you know the blat email client is not installed and you'll have to do the installation with these instructions. Only the blat.exe email client and the latest win32\bin\mvmail.exe program will support e-delivery.
Email message file
Create a simple text file %MVS_ROOT%\dsk0\250xxx\edeliv_inv_email.txt for the default email body text for e-delivered invoices. Add text like this:
Please see the attached pdf document. It is your invoice from Company Name.
