Form Types in Paperless Office

When you set up Paperless Office, you can define options for storing and electronically delivering forms in PDF format. Forms include documents such as invoices, sales orders purchase orders, and direct deposit stubs. These options can be set up for multiple forms by company and/or module, or by individual form. For more information, see Set Up Paperless Office.

There are different types of forms, based on who receives the form. Form types include customer forms (such as invoices and sales orders), vendor forms (such as purchase orders and return orders), and employee forms (direct deposit stubs). You can define settings for these forms for individual customers, vendors, and employees, including the default recipients of e-mails and faxes. You can also define default e-mail or fax messages by form type, or by individual form.

After a PDF document is created, it can be viewed in the Paperless Office viewer task for that form type. For example, customer form PDF documents can be viewed in Customer Viewer. The viewer task also allows you to e-mail, fax, move, or delete PDF documents.
