Functionalities

Advanced-Forms is used for designing, converting, and distributing incoming and outgoing business documents in multiple electronic formats. It is also developed to fit companies and organizations of all sizes. With Advanced-Forms you are able to create and execute an optimal output management strategy, meeting the demands of your business partners and customers exactly the way they want to receive your documents and you want to distribute them. Advanced-Forms, Quadira’s Output Management System, automatically converts standard JD Edwards reports to documents in all kind of formats, such as PDF, XML, Word, Excel and HTML for automated document e-delivery. You can design documents in UNICODE to support each language and you can also design e-mail messages in a flexible way with personalized data. Advanced-Forms supports all sorts of printers and printer attributes (tray selection, duplex, etc) from laser and matrix printers to thermal (barcode) label printers.

Design

The extensive Advanced-Forms Designer feature is based on so-called bands, or parts of reports and documents. It offers numerous types of bands, from report title to summary and columns. You can even enlarge the number of levels by sub reports within the same document. Advanced-Forms offers a full graphical user interface to set-up the distribution process of your outgoing documents with a total graphical document flow. The configuration of a document distribution process is very user friendly and easy with intuitive input screens.

Distribution

The Advanced Forms Distribution distributes your ERP-documents to the destination, including email, print, or even an electronic archive. Since the distribution set-up is offered in a total graphical and intuitive user interface, the Advanced-Forms distribution process can be easily configured and maintained by your own staff. Advanced-Forms offers a mail preview and validation function which enables you to check, verify and validate for instance the created digital document and the accompanying e-mail message, before it is being distributed. You can even add personal text to the e-mail message. This preview and validation function is available in a web portal through a web browser as well as through a mobile APP for integration with smartphones and tablets. The validation process is also available as a full workflow for an approval process throughout your organization.

Oracle JD Edwards Connector

The JDE Connector converts TaggedPDF documents from JD Edwards to XML. The JDEConnector Graphical User Interface manages the interface between PDF and XML and can be used to determine which elements of a PDF are needed for your final document. A batch of documents can be automatically cut and divided per document. Additional information can be added from one or more databases, allowing the customization of JD Edwards standard documents without any programming effort. Documents created by Advanced-Forms are easily retrievable in PDF from JD Edwards directly, as they are saved in JD Edwards as an attachment.
