PaperSave Recapture allows documents to be directed associated to a Dynamics GP Transaction. In this blog, I wanted to address the additional capturing options available without using the need to process the document through a PaperSave Workflow and to automatically associate the document to a Dynamics GP Transaction. In order to use PaperSave recapture, the software must be installed with the Recapture Software along with the CarolinaBar-B39-25F2-* fonts.
Capture Methods
Adding Documents to Dynamics GP via the PaperSave Recapture Function
PaperSave Recapture allows the user to print a Dynamics GP document or Other document in the system and have it directly associated with the Dynamics GP Transaction. The document being printed must have a barcode on the first page that indicates which transaction it is to be associated to. The barcode must be formatted in a specific way using the CarolinaBar-B39-25F2-* font and 14 points in size. An example format is below:
The Company ID refers to the PaperSave ID for the Dynamics GP company. This can be found by querying the PaperSave Database with the following command:
Use PaperSave
Selectc.ID as [PaperSaveCompanyID], c.CompanyName From Company c
The Document Type ID refers to the PaperSave Document Type ID for the Dynamics GP Transaction Type. This can be found by querying the PaperSave Database with the following command:
Use PaperSave
Select [ID], [Name] from DocumentType
The Parent ID refers to the unique value for the transaction type.
