Summary

An interesting requirement came to me. I had to customize the PO workflow and after the workflow was approved I had to send the PO in PDF format to the supplier within an email. Oracle gives the option of sending the PO in PDF format to the supplier once the PO is approved. Once the PO is approved Oracle executes the program named, PO Output for Communication (POXPOPDF), saves it into the database, attaches it to the PO and sends this output as an attachment. The layout of the report can also be customized also. I shall discuss about this customization procedure in another post. The problem is that the standard report, PO Output for Communication, was unable to provide all the details.
