Different Run Options Define your own run options to best fit your process:

12 - Documents are E-mailed as PDF files 6. Sending: E-mail

13 - In addition to E-mail, you can fax, print and archive documents in the same run (one of them or a combination) 6. Sending: Fax, Print and Archive - Documents can be printed on Windows or UNIX printers - Documents can be archived on an NT network drive or on the Baan server - Faxing uses supplier fax data and an option for 100 additional address books

14 As an example, “Print Purchase Orders” to the mail-merge device. ( The purchase order run has 700 purchase orders) In few moments… 400 purchase orders will be emailed 100 purchase orders will be emailed and faxed 180 purchase orders will be faxed 700 purchase orders will be archived on disk 20 purchase orders will be printed (to be manually picked and sent by mail) All this will be done automatically! 7. Run Mode: Automatic

15 With the “One by One” mode you can review each purchase order before sending it, verifying email addresses and fax numbers, writing a special note to go along with the document sent, possibly add/delete attachments, setting the email priority and ask for an email receipt. 7. Run Mode: One-By-One

16 8. Purchase Approval Process For companies where Purchase Orders above a certain monetary threshold need to be signed by two people, the Purchase Approval Extension comes into place. Purchase Orders below the threshold amount are automatically signed by the buyer and sent out while all other Purchase Orders are routed to the responsible manager for approval within Baan.

17 The manager assigned to sign the Purchase Order will be notified with an email and will be directed to an approval session. If the Purchase Order is approved or denied, an email will be sent to notify the buyer about the fate of each Order. 8. Purchase Approval Process

18 Approved Purchase Orders are ready to be released. This can be performed automatically by a batch job that will release all approved orders – or the buyer can check all approved orders and manually release them, while adding some additional remarks or attachments. 8. Purchase Approval Process
