Operational Efficiency Enhancements
Simultaneous Printing and Emailing of POP Documents
When selecting “Send in Email,” you’ll now have the option to either “Print a Copy” or “Print Remaining for the Print Options.” The former lets you print selected documents while exclusively emailing those earmarked for email transmission. The latter facilitates emailing documents set for email transmission while simultaneously printing those not designated for email.
Scheduled Checklinks
A new feature allows you to schedule the checklinks process to run at a specific time, offering flexibility to execute it overnight or during off-peak hours.
Automatic Posting of Batches
Upon email approval and finalization of a Workflow task, GP will automatically generate a Scheduled Task to post the batch. This applies to Workflows for Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and General Ledger batches.
