    we are currently looking to scan our invoices in on ap20 with a url attachment. Has anyone done this and if so what pitfalls have you found?

    We are currently looking to use document image for the url housing and are 8.03 apps-8.03 env. WE are getting ready to move to LSF9.

      It's fairly common now, and is not all that difficult. AP90 is a good place to link the url. Users will likely need a different sign on to view imaged documents. Pitfalls usually come from the other processes that you drive from the scanned image (i.e. invoice approval). Which scan software will you use?

                  We scan our invoices using Perceptive Softwares scanning.  What we have done is created a Design Studio form for AP90 that uses the index values to pull up the image.

                    I don't like to promote any one software company but I saw a demo on this with MHC Software (A Lawson partner) a couple months ago.  I thought it was pretty slick.    You can scan an invoice while at the AP20 screen and the system will auto-index the image based on the data in the AP20 fields.  A link is created at AP90 and I think at AP20 as well.  This is also available for PO30 (packing slips), PO20 (purchase orders) and HR11 (employee).  $75,000 base price + $3000 for each capture module.
