Sending po printout by fax server

hi!
i have a very urgent problem,
we implemented fax server for sending purchase order printout to the vendor.
we used userexit vn00001 for recieving the vax number of the agent.
we need to get also the country code and change it to te country code of the agent.
is there any way to do it?
by userexit or some other way?
thank you
yifat

You should really post this question to the ABAP group, although not a specific ABAP problem, if there is a way to do it with a user exit you'll get the answer there quite quickly!

the situation now is that we get the fax number in israel , and the country code of the vendor in the U.S.A.
and it connects then together.

Make your own Fax Server with Automator! (Pagesender solution for Mavericks)

I have been scouring these discussion boards for some time now looking for a suitable substitute to PageSender, an awesome fax solution for the Mac from SmileOnMyMac LLC, which for some inexplicable reason stopped development and updates after OS 10.6.8. The result is that many small business office users who still rely on fax (and yes...no matter what they tell you, most of the business world DOES still use fax because it's legally binding and more secure than email for the transmission of legal documents or healthcare records, and does not rely on database integration accross different systems, which is sadly but very realistically still a long ways off), and no longer have a way to integrate faxes into a paperless or digital workflow office system.
I suspect like many folks who receive faxes, those who used PageSender, used a very powerful feature to forward faxes by email, thereby turning your Mac into a Fax server that could distribute your faxes to other workstations and staff throughout the business via email. Presumably, if you have your own email server (Exchange, Kerio, AppleMail server, PostFix enabler etc.) you could distribute faxes on your own internal network, securely behind a firewall, and effectively create a digitial/paperless workflow for your faxes.
Even if you have a USB modem or multifunction printer that allows you to recieve a Fax to your desktop (Apple's internal fax via printer preferences, and some HP models like the HP MFP 127fw) for example will allow you to recieve a Fax to a desktop folder or forward to a single email address. But the former is of limited functionaliy and the later only lets you send to an email address out over the internet with a registered public domain, which means you give up all control of privacy and means you can't process it through a private mail server to create a digital workflow for your office...
...Until now!!!
I am happy to report that I have finally discovered a very easy and useable feature that will save a lot of time, money, and headaches for those looking to create a digital workflow and fax server system for a small office system. (I don't think there is any limit to scale here, but I suspect offices with more than 10 employees probably have a BizHub, or HP MFP/digital sender that can create the same process directly from the printer, but of course these come with a price tag of $2000 and up...).
To accomplish this however, you will need some basic requirements which are as follows:
1) A USB modem from either US Robotics or Zoom Modem. These are readily available from Amazon, MacMall or any number of other online vendors and work very well and seemlessly with all Macs running OSX right up through Mavericks
OR
A Multifunction printer that is capable of receiving faxes to a desktop Mac like the HP 127 fw. Other models exist from other manufacturers as well, but you will have to do a bit of research and probably check with the vendor or user manual directly to confirm that Fax to desktop is supported for Mac and OS 10.9.
2) A dedicated Mail Server (MSFT Exchange, Kerio, MacOSX server with mail server enabled, or PostFix enalber or MailServe from Cutedge Systems)
You will need to set up an email account on your server that is the parent for all incoming faxes from which the faxes will be sent out as part of your digital workflow. This is beyond the scope of this discussion but if you've come this far and you're still reading, you probably know how to do this already. I recommend setting this up as a POP account, not IMAP. This way, the attatchments (your faxes) will always remain on your server as a back up, until you delete them from the server.
3) Now simply go to System preferences and select "Printers and Scanners". Select either the Fax printer for your multifunction printer, or add a fax printer/reviever using the + button and select "Fax" if you are using a USB modem. You must have the USB modem attatched to the computer in order to use the built-in Apple Fax feature for the latter option.
4) Now click on the receive options. Select "Recieve faxes to this computer" and set your ring answer settings. Check "Save to" and select the designated folder (either Faxes or Shared Faxes on your computer) or create a new folder. Depending on the volume of faxes, and your back up systems, you may want to designate a separate folder on a separate drive, exclusively for your Faxes. This is where all your faxes will be stored.
5) Now launch "Automator" in your applications folder and create a new workflow. You will be presented with several options. Select "Folder Action".
6) At the top right of the window space you will see "Folder Action receives files and folders added to" . Select the Fax folder you created in step 4.
7)On the left hand side of the "Actions" menu select "Mail"
8) From the list of actions select "New Mail Message" this will take the latest Fax added to your Fax folder and attach it as a PDF to a new outgoing mail. In the "TO" address put the email address that belongs to the parent account your created for the Faxes on your mail server eg. [email protected]. In the subject field you can put "Fax Workflow" or any other generic subject that will identify to all reciptients that this is an email that contains a Fax/PDF attatchment.
Under "account" use the SMTP account you set up on your mail server to handle the routing of internal emails. In most cases, this will be the same as the parent account created above. (Effectively, this account is sending and receiving emails to itself).
9) From the list of actions, select "Send outgoing messages".
10) Save the Automator workflow with a name like "FaxDistribution" or "FaxFlow".
11) Go back to the Fax folder you created in step 4. Right click or option click on the folder and scroll down the options menu and select "Folder Actions Setup". You will see a list of scripts including the Automator workflow you just created. Choose it.
That's it!! From now on, when you get a fax, it will get dumped into the designated fax folder, and this will automatically trigger the workflow to atttach and send it as an email to anyone in your office that is set up to receive emails with the "faxserver" address. You now have a paperless fax digital workflow server system for distributing your faxes digitally to anyone in your office who needs to review your faxes. Good luck!

Thank you for this interesting posting.

FAX server in 10.5 server and across subnets

We can use 10.5 Server as a FAX server. Since I got this working a while ago, it has run reliably.
This is how we are doing it. Hopefully this will help others get it working too.
Our server: 10.5.2, Pro Intel 2x2.8 quad with a USB Apple faxmodem attached to the front USB port plugged into a standard phone line. Print service is set up and running and happens to be serving printers for us. Once the FAX seemed to get confused and not receive or send. I unplugged the USB fax, plugged it back in and it was fine again.
At the server I opened a text edit document and told the server to fax from Print > PDF > Fax PDF. A fax printer was automatically created on the server. While the fax was printing I told the printer in the Dock to "keep in dock." Opened that fax printer, choose "info" icon in top of window and renamed the fax from "external modem" to a new name so that it would be easy for our staff to use and find it. The server now has a fax on it. As anyone who has tried this has found you CANNOT edit the FAX from ServerAdmin. You can now see it as a queue with the new name it was given but editing it not possible from SA.
At the server still in System Preferences > Fax and print > the new fax appears in the bottom of the printers list under "Faxes." Select the fax. Select "receive options" and set up how the fax is to receive and place received faxes. Ours go in to a folder in a share point which is available and automounted to everyone on our network so anyone, anywhere can get the incoming faxes. The next point assumes that you will do the same.
In 10.4 and once in 10.5 I had to delete the fax manually from System Preferences and recreate it as above when everything seemed to stop working and unplugging the modem and rebooting the server did not fix the stall. As long as everything is named exactly the same when you recreate the fax, no other changes or repeat of what is described below was needed.
For each of the users in our OD:
Tell them each to do the following: Open Applications > Applescript > Folder actions setup. Check off "enable folder actions," hit the + under the left box and select the folder in the share where the faxes are being received. Now select the fax folder in the left and hit the + under the right box and choose "add - new item alert." Save as necessary. The users who do this will now get notification when a new fax arrives and is deposited by the server in the Fax folder.
Now to get the fax to the clients to fax out on. The following will also get all of your shared printers onto any off server's subnet clients. For us the fax did not even show up in local subnet clients as printers usually do. So I kept working and eventually came up with the following:
Our network:
Main location 192.168.1.* server is here.
Remote locations connected via Verizon T1 and routers with no firewalling
192.168.2.*
192.168.3.*
Our client machines :
Intel white iMacs all running 10.5.2 with no special software for faxing. Our clients are bound to and controlled by our server.
I have been trying to get our server to serve the FAX across our 2 remote subnets since 10.3. With the newer CUPS coming with 10.5 and Apple now owning it I hoped that there would be an easy solution to get non local subnet computers the ability to see shared faxes and printers. Sent a forum question and got the following which was great news
Erich Wetzel wrote:
Can anyone advise, now that Apple owns CUPS, how to allow my other
two subnets to BrowsePoll our server for its printers?
The simplest way is to change the "Allow from @LOCAL" lines to be
"Allow from all". You can also use the web interface and check the
"Allow printing from the Internet", which does the same. If you
don't want to open up that much, just add "Allow from" lines for
each subnet.
Once you make this change, *do not* toggle the printer sharing box,
or you'll have to make the changes all over again.
Michael Sweet, Easy Software Products mike at easysw dot com
Michael,
Thanks for the reply, sounds like you have my solution. Small problem, upon selecting "allow printing from internet" in the web interface and committing the changes, the server restarts and the check box is empty again. In quick tests, the other options can be turned on and off as you would expect. Is there something particular to the Apple 10.5.1 install that would not permit internet printing or not permit this change?
I think the check box state in the web interface is a known bug in
CUPS 1.3.4.
I used the web interface for cups on the server and manually added the networks as described by Michael above. I don't know if it is required but I restarted the server. Open > Safari > browse to localhost:631 and you will get the CUPS web interface. The CUPS web interface is available on servers and clients. You can also browse to an IP or FDQN:631 to get the web interface from a receptive other machine.
The server was now supposedly ready to accept "browsepoll" requests from clients. I had played with this before so I was somewhat familiar with what to do next. Essentially each client needs to be told to contact the server and ask it for its printers. That is what browsepoll does in CUPS.
At the client, be logged in as an admin user OF THE CLIENT. Using Terminal and a text editor, edit as root /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
A few lines down look for:
# Show shared printers on the local network.
Browsing On
BrowseOrder allow,deny
BrowseAllow all
After that we added :
#*added by Erich*
BrowseProtocols all
BrowseRemoteProtocols all
BrowsePoll yourserver:631
BrowsePort 631
#*added by Erich*
where "yourserver" is either the IP address or FDQN of your server as seen by the client machine.
Save the file. Reboot the client. The CUPS system on the client will now ask your server CUPS system for its printers directly and repeatedly until it gets them. If it does not get any you will not be notified in anyway other than log messages on the client, see Console > /var/log > cups to review them, and the fact that you don't get your server's printers being available on the client.
This last piece came from a discussion started by Alessandro Dellavedova : check the starting post
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5702731&#5702731
If you go to Safari > Localhost:631 on the client, CUPS should now see both the printers and the fax which are being hosted by your server.
Here's the fun part for me, with no additional playing I was now able to see the fax we created long ago in the print dialog printer list. You do not have to go to Print > PDF > Fax PDF, you can but do not have to. Just select the fax from the printer list and the dialog changes to fax appropriate options. Now we were able to print any document to the fax directly.
Odd behavior I have yet to figure out. I do not see the fax in the System Preferences > print and fax pane on the client machines. However, I can now fax through our server from all of our clients no matter what subnet they are on.
Making the same additions to the cupsd.conf file on remote machines which VPN via the internet to your network will get them the printers and fax in the same way. I do this with a powerbook and Imac from home so i can print at and fax from work.
This is what I did to get it working for us. Hope this helps.

How to set up fax solution using Windows 2008 R2 Fax server role and Exchange 2007

Hello,
I don't know if this is the right forum to post this but since it is related to Exchange I thought it might be. If this is not the right place, please direct me to the forum where my post would be more appropriate.
I'm looking to set up a Fax solution for the company that I work for as we are moving away from analog phone lines to VoIP using SIP. My original thought was to set up a Windows 2008 R2 server with Fax server role installed and have it route the fax message
to Exchange 2007 SP3 so the fax message can be delivered to each user's inbox. I was reading a little bit on the Windows Fax server role and from what I saw it looks like it can only route fax messages to one email address. This not ideal for my company. Is
there a way to have the fax server role route the email to each user's inbox? If so, how can I achieve this?
How can implement this for this sending outgoing faxes as well?
I don't know if this releveant or not but I will be using Asterisk as a media gateway between our SIP trunks and the Windows Fax server.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

2012 R2 Fax Server -- "The Message could not be sent. The wait operation timed out."

I receive the following error on a newly installed 2012 R2 fax server when sending from the Windows Fax and Scan console:
"The Message could not be sent. The wait operation timed out."
The test fax that fails only contains text that I type into the body. However, if I add an attachment, the fax is successful.
Any ideas??

Hi,
Would you please let me confirm whether install any third-party application on the Windows Server 2012 R2?
Please perform a clean boot to eliminate software conflicts and monitor the result. Please also check if you install all necessary updates on the server.
Meanwhile, please run
sfc /scannow command to scan all protected system files and check if find issues.

Server 2008 Fax Server console doesn't show outgoing faxes

We are sending faxes from Windows XP clients through our Server 2008 Fax Server. Most of the faxes are sent, however the Server Fax Console never shows any faxes as being sent. The Fax Console does show the Incoming faxes that have been received. What can I do to get a log of the outbound faxes so we know they were sent successfully?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
Please perform the following steps to check it:
Open Fax Service Manager.
In the left pane, right-click Fax, and then click Properties.
3. On the Archives tab, please check the "Archive all faxes to this folder" item, and the sent faxes will be stored in this folder.
In addition, you could also use the following method enable activity logging for a fax server.
Open Fax Service Manager.
In the left pane, right-click Fax, and then click Properties.
On the Activity Logging tab, select the Log incoming fax activity check box to start logging incoming faxes and the
Log outgoing fax activity check box to start logging outgoing faxes.
You should receive an alert that the Fax service needs to be stopped and then restarted. If you do not, then right-click
Fax, click Stop, right-click Fax again, and then click
Start.
Thanks,
Miles
This is not a fix for this issue. I would hardly call this a workaround. We have admins that need to address fax sending issues when the faxes don't go through. Seeing the global outbox and sent items is a must for us. It needs to be
available from the fax console so the admin (secretary types, not IT admins) can review the issues.

Tiger Fax Server

I have an old Blue & White that I have upgraded to a G4 processor.
I would like to put it on my home network as a headless server for storing files and to use as a fax server. My network is composed of cat 5E & 6 cabling with two time capsules (two houses connected with Cat 6, in-house is all Cat 5E), a D-Link Gigabit router with the wireless turned off, an Intel Mini configured with 10,6 server (soon to be changed to 10.6 non server), two Intel based 17" MacBook Pros, a 15" G4 PowerBook, and a couple of Windoze laptops.
I am looking for information about the headless setup and the fax server.
I hope this is the right place to post this message, as I couldn't find a community that dealt with antiques like my B & W.
This is an upcoming project and I am trying to get all the information I can before I start. Any help will be greatly appreciated --- Zee

My intention is to use the built-in modem and a single telephone line and number.
Outbound faxes would be files from a word processor, text editor, etc. or scanned images.
Inbound faxes would always be images.
My objective is to have a single device that anyone on the local network that will be able to remote login and be able to send and receive faxes.
My concerns are:
1. Getting the machine to boot without a monitor.
2. Outbound faxing via remote login.
3. Remotely administering and monitoring the machine.
4. Sending the incoming faxes to the proper user/home directory
Inbound and outbound faxes would be handled by the machine using a single telephone line. I have used the OS X faxing software on a single user basis, but have never tried it with multiple user accounts on a single machine.
I believe that I can accomplish:
1. using auto-login to the guest account at bootup.
2. using remote login for users.
3. using remote login for admin.
I would like health and status reporting to be handled via some sort of feed instead of remote login.
I am unsure how to accomplish #4 as I have a single phone # provided by the cable company that provides my internet access and they do not offer additional numbers with distinctive ringing.
Additionally, I would use the same machine for additional file storage.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. --- Zee

Sending various documents through FAX in PO

Hi All
I had a requirement to FAX various kinds of documents like PDF WORD etc through FAX in Purchase Order.
It has to be accessed from Document Management System.
Any pointers in this shall be welcomed.
Thanks in advance
Anuj

Hi Saurabh,
You got standard way to do it . First your message has to be set to be send by Fax ( check in transaction NACE for this or check with your functionnal consultant ) .
After you have to make some technical customizing in transaction SCOT in order to configure Fax connexion from SAP and then set the file fomrat you want for fax.
Remember that if you want to send Fax directly from SAP, SAP need to be connected to a Fax Card or a Fax Server .
Hope this will help you.

WANT TO USE M1217 printer on fax server but modem driver could not find

Dear All
I want to install HP Laserjet M1217 MFP on Window Server 2012 r2 and Use on windows Fax and Scan utility.
but i think i need modem driver to use on this utility.
therefore i need assistance how can i use this dvice on Fax server.
best regards
Owais Farooq

Hello Owais Farooq,
The Windows Fax and Scan allow faxing with a Fax modem card installed on your PC, it does not allow using a such with the HP Device.
The HP M1217 allow sending and recieving faxes from the computer through the HP Software , not through the operating system software.
Regardless, the M1217 is compatible with Windows Server 2003 or 2008, it is incompatible with Windows Server 2012, as well any digital fax capabilities as faxing from / to the computer are only supported on a client operating system, not on a server.
For a server only basic print and scan drivers are available as you may find in the user guide of the printer:

Second fax server with SAP-connect

Hello,
I'm able to send faxes from my SAP-server to the SMTP host. This host
send the faxes to the receiver.
Now we have two purchase companies in our client who want to send faxes
to their suppliers. In our company we use two fax-servers for each
company and the users of this company could only send faxes by their own fax server. But from out SAP Iu2019m only able to create one SMTP connection
to a fax-server. Is it possible to create a second SMTP fax server in the
tr-SCOT and send a purchase order depending on, for example the message
type, to one of the fax connection defined in SCOT?
Kind regards,

Cisco Fax Server

I have a new install running Cisco Fax Server (Captaris 9.0) and I'm having the issue enabling the OCR converter. Fax Server is up, receiving faxes and sending to exchange if OCR is disabled on the user's mailbox. If I enable the OCR option on the user's Default Receive Settings then the faxes just sit in the OCR queue and never get serviced. Here are the steps I've done.
* Enabled the OCR service on the Workserver
* Validated my licensed features have the OCR converter option (assuming it does cause it's listed in licensed features)
* Given my user OCR permissions
* Configured automatic OCR conversion on the user's fax/mailbox.
These are all the steps referenced in the docs.
http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/en/us/guest/products/ps6178/c1945/ccmigration_09186a008040f768.pdf
Anyone know if the Event Viewer is the only logging for this application. Turned up both system and database logging to verbose and still no luck.
Thanks
Fred

The problem was fixed by deleting the Workserver and re-adding it. All the configuration was correct but the work server was just not functioning correctly.
Debugging can be turned on by issuing this command when the workserver service is stopped.
worksrv d -1 -sworksvr1 > debug.txt
(worksvr# is the number of your workserver)
Thanks
Fred

Re: Fax Server connect to SAP

Hi,
I want to connect the SAP to our fax server. The objective is that
when the PO is completely release, it will generate a PO in PDF and sent it to the supplier by mean of our fax server.
Is this feasible?, if yes, any help how this can be achieve. Thanks in advance

Hi,
We just implemented a Fax solution for automatic delivery of PO via Fax. You need to implement a fax server and integrate it to SAP. We used third party solution with Biscom Fax Servers for solution and Aventx software (STR Software ) company provides a software that talks to SAP and FAX Server. Once the AventX software is installed, you need an RFC connection.
You also might need a development team to work on the Format the PO comes out when you use Fax as an Output Type. It might just comeout using SAP standard form, and if you got a custom form then you will also need a Z output type created, a new custom form which is a mimic to the output that comes as a printout.
It is certainly more than just saying ask SAP Basis to connect to Fax Server.
Good Luck.
Thanks
