Attachéfor

Baan


What Is It?

Attaché is an add-on utility that lets users attach multiple, arbitrary files in a variety of common formats to Baan business documents. E.g.• PDF• EXCEL• WORD• GIF• JPEGWorks with Baan IV and Baan 5.

Thumbnails are available for JPEG and GIF files onUNIX-based Baan systems.


How To Implement Attaché

1. Determine the areas in Baan you want attachments [Service Orders, Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, etc.].

2. Disus implements a very small customization of thespecified Baan session(s) or provides a new sessionto access the attachments screen.

3. Attachments are uploaded via the BW interface and stored in customer-specified directory on the server.

4. Files are transferred dynamically, when selected.5. Modifications to attachments need to be re-uploaded

to the server, otherwise changes only saved as a local copy.
