FW: Support Alert......!!!! Print Management in AX2009

Print Management

Print Management is a useful tool that allows the user to define settings to
produce original records, copy records, and conditional settings. Print
Management is controlled at the module, account, or transaction level and
can control the number of copies to produce, multilingual footer text, and
print destination.

Print management can be setup in Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and
Projects at the module level. Each original record in Microsoft Dynamics AX
can have default settings associated with it which are defined under the
print management setup. Print Management is setup at a hierarchal level
where you define original record, copy record and settings for any available
documents. You can create up to one original record for each and multiple
copy records for every document type. You can create up to 19 conditional
settings for each original or copy record. To see more on how to setup Print
Management, continue reading.
