Understanding the Print Drafts from Invoices Program

The Print Drafts from Invoices program (R74S502) uses the groups that are produced by the Invoice Group by Draft program (R03B5052) to prints drafts. The total amount of each draft, which is the total open amount of each group of invoices, determines the amount of the stamp that is required on the draft.

The system retrieves fee amounts from these tables:

Stamps (Timbres) Fee Detail (F74S502)
Stamps (Timbres) Fee Header (F74S505)

If the system cannot find a fee that corresponds to the draft amount, it sends an error message to the work center and does not print the draft.

The Print Drafts from Invoices program produces one printer spool file for each fee amount. All of the drafts that have the same fee amount are included in one printer spool file. This grouping enables you to load the paper with the appropriate stamp for each group of drafts.

Note: You must group records in the Print Drafts from Invoices program in the same way that you group records in the Invoice Group by Draft program. For example, if you set the processing options for the Invoice Group by Draft program to group by customer, you must also set the processing options for the Print Drafts from Invoices program to group by customer. If you specify the Print Drafts with Invoices program in the processing options for the Invoice Group by Draft program, the processing option value for grouping does not get passed from the Invoice Group by Draft program to the Print Drafts with Invoices program. You must set up matching processing options for both programs.

The Print Drafts from Invoices program selects RI documents from the F03B11 table.
