Printing Improvements

Oracle EBS Print Status Improvements

Last year, we launched a new printing module for AventX with Oracle EBS and Oracle eAM. You can read more about the release here:

• STR Software Celebrates 35 Years with Launch of AventX A2A
• Product Rebranding & Rollup of Product Updates [Summer 2021; v21.1 through v21.3]

This early version of the AventX for Oracle EBS Windows Print module labeled EBS print jobs through AventX as “Success” when the print job was sent to a Windows Printer queue.

This enhancement adds more granular print status to Oracle EBS in the AventX Delivery Status Form. Now, print jobs that execute successfully from AventX will post back to Oracle as “Printed,” while any failures will post back to Oracle as “Fatal” with helpful troubleshooting details.

This more granular status will help users and IT quickly troubleshoot issues. Additionally, AventX allows users to easily resubmit successful and failed print jobs through the Web UI.

Document Delivery Improvements

Send Documents via Email as an Attachment and to a Customer Portal

Users of AventX SFT (aka Secure Content Portal or AventX Mail SC) now have the option to attach files to the outbound email notification, in addition to the existing direct file download link.

This feature was added to support recipients that may require documents to be attached to received emails, often to trigger an automated workflow on the recipient’s end.

Though attached to the email, users can still access new or historic files via the portal, bringing the best of both worlds together—providing an easy-to-process attachment with the long-term, customer-accessible portal.

Securely Encrypt Sent Faxes from SAP

AventX for SAP (Windows) now integrates with FAXCOM Suite to enable the use of FAXCOM Mailbox Server for data and storage. With FAXCOM Mailbox Server, organizations using AventX for SAP can encrypt faxes at rest for improved security. Additionally, users can quickly search for and locate sent/received faxes, enable better network user access to faxes, and store an almost unlimited number of faxes in primary or archive document repositories.

SAP Email Enhancements to Improve Internal Workflows

In addition to PCL output, AventX for SAP (UNIX) can now intelligently parse PDF data to create an improved email delivery experience. This includes the ability to specify a unique email template and dynamically map the user’s Active Directory login, display name, and email address. In addition, parsing more data from PDF files improves how internal users can access both faxed and emailed documents in AventX WebManager to view or resend a document.

Submit External Files via SFTP for Delivery

SFTP is a critical tool for organizations to deliver documents and data, both internally and externally, securely. Because of this, many STR Software customers have expressed a need to utilize SFTP to deliver information from programs or applications that cannot integrate with AventX.

To support these initiatives, the AventX Core Integration Module now allows organizations to FTP/SFTP files from remote hosts/tools to AventX for processing using a local file drop option. Having this option available in AventX eliminates the need for additional FTP utilities, simplifying your IT infrastructure.

Additionally, by funneling other outbound documents and files through AventX, users can easily manage and resend these deliveries from the AventX WebManager, creating a single source of truth for monitoring and resending critical business documents.

eFax Integration & Delivery Improvements

Fax data on received faxes can be challenging to read, especially on documents with smaller pitch and fonts. To help improve this, users of AventX with eFax can now enable High Resolution faxing and configure the ‘bolding’ of fonts. These two AventX settings give senders more control over the final received document, with the goal that your recipients can more quickly process the received fax.
