Greetings,
I just got back from a meeting with deb sears, mark Sprague and Alan
davidson regarding testing of printing through IPM from sap.
Two key pieces of information from the meeting are:
End user, non statement printing can go through IPM after the upgrade
general timeframe of end of January.
Monthly General ledger statement printing through IPM will not happen until
the code to generate them is rewritten, "sometime" after the upgrade is
complete.
Translation rough tentative guess on using IPM, not before end of fiscal year.
Ok that all said, I will send mail to r3 admin to request two sap printers,
in the sf2, sf5, sf8 and ps1 environments that will point to a printer in
w92 for the fss folks to test the sap 4.6 code and printing the non
statement printing through IPM.
Once that is complete and the upgrade done the production printers can be
set up in IPM to do real printing for end users from SAP.
We will be setting up a new, permanent general ledger monthly printing
logical destination in IPM, when they are ready to start testing and
printing the rewritten code. The "new" sap printer will be specifically
set up to point to the IBM printers, retain the print for a specific period
of time, etc.
So good news and bad news but at least some progress has been made.
Lynne
