This is a high access/priority level option on the Miscellaneous menu which prints all of the unprinted Daybooks on the system, giving the usual options to print Batch-input Daybooks, Cash-posting Daybooks or All Daybooks.
To print all PL daybooks:
From the Autoline Master menu select the Purchase Ledger option and the Company you require.
The PURCHASE LEDGER menu is displayed.
Select Miscellaneous options.
The PL MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS menu is displayed.
Select the Print all PL daybooks option.
Warning: This option can only be run when no other users are accessing the Nominal Ledger invoice buffer file, and is generally run as part of the Timed Operations procedure.
This program prints all Purchase Ledger daybooks that have not yet been printed on exit from Batch input, Generate-and-print-documents, Cash posting, Document-transfer and through integration with other modules. It should be used with caution and is normally only run as a part of the End-of-Day. In an integrated business environment, it is not desirable to have this option run while operators in other departments may be continuing with activities which are generating more daybooks.
When the option required is selected, the system produces any daybooks that are included in the selection criteria and, when completed, offers further menu options to Continue back to the PL MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS menu or Reprint-daybook(s) if any output was damaged in any way.
Note: The Re-print option does just that. It does not update the ledgers again. Whether any output to a physical printer or spooler takes place depends on the setting of a Nominal Ledger system parameter. This parameter is found on the Flags tab. The prompt is New page for each daybook item and the parameter has 3 settings, Y for Yes (each daybook item is on a separate page), N for No (daybook items are printed along with others on the same pages), or S for Suppress output (no printed daybooks are produced).
If daybook printing is suppressed, the output is directed to a temporary file, from where the End-of-Day process transfers the contents to a daily file in the Nominal Ledger data area. Once stored in this daily file, it can be printed or displayed on demand.
