Infor LN Document Output Management: Print, Email, and Electronic Delivery
Document output in Infor LN encompasses everything from printed purchase orders and invoices to electronic delivery via email, EDI, and regulatory e-invoicing platforms. LN's Document Output Management (DOM) framework controls document generation, formatting, routing, and archival. Configuring DOM correctly eliminates manual document handling and ensures compliance with trading partner and regulatory requirements.
Document Output Management Architecture
LN's DOM architecture separates document content generation from delivery. Report sessions produce document data, the DOM framework applies formatting rules and templates, and output devices handle final delivery to printers, email servers, file systems, or external platforms. This separation allows the same document to be simultaneously printed, emailed, and archived without duplicate generation.
- Document models: configure in session ttadv3500m000 defining layout templates, page structure, and branding elements
- Output devices: printers, email (SMTP), file export (PDF, XML, CSV), and electronic delivery configured per document type
- Routing rules: session ttadv3530m000 maps document types to output devices based on business partner, company, or user role
- Archive integration: automatic document archival to Infor Document Management (IDM) or third-party DMS systems
- Multi-format output: single document definition generates PDF for email, ZPL for label printers, and XML for EDI simultaneously
Configuring Common Document Types
The most frequently generated LN documents are purchase orders, sales invoices, packing slips, and manufacturing work orders. Each document type has specific configuration requirements around numbering, tax presentation, multi-language support, and regulatory compliance fields. LN's report session framework uses Crystal Reports or Infor Reporting for document formatting.
- Purchase orders: configure PO print session (tdpur4400m000) with supplier-specific language, currency, and delivery terms
- Sales invoices: set up invoice output (cisli3600m000) with country-specific tax layouts and electronic invoicing formats
- Packing slips and shipping documents: configure whinh3400m000 with carrier-specific label and manifest requirements
- Manufacturing work orders: route work order prints (tisfc0401m000) to shop floor printers with operation-level instructions
- Financial documents: configure bank payment advice and remittance documents with banking format compliance
Email Delivery and Electronic Distribution
Transitioning from printed to electronic document delivery reduces costs and accelerates business processes. LN's email delivery framework sends documents as PDF attachments through configured SMTP servers with customizable email templates. For automated B2B document exchange, LN integrates with EDI and e-invoicing platforms through ION-based document routing.
- Configure SMTP server settings in LN system parameters for outbound email document delivery
- Set up email templates with dynamic merge fields for recipient name, document number, and due dates
- Enable PDF/A format for archived documents ensuring long-term readability and regulatory compliance
- Route electronic invoices through ION to PEPPOL, Ariba, or country-specific e-invoicing networks
- Implement delivery tracking and read receipts for critical documents using LN's output status monitoring
