Yeah, looks like that’s the direction we’ll have to go, some kind of local SQL copy of the data we need.
Did you talk to Manny about it?
I suppose this isn’t relevant to the OP, but I feel like you all have wandered into the generic printing discussion.
So, I made an app instead of dealing with either end (Epicor or BT). It was meant as a stopgap, but after a couple weeks, the manager told me to discontinue automatic printing via BPM and they’ll use only my app.
Home screen:
Recent receipts:
Tap one and it pulls up the fields pre-filled (user is free to edit at will). Also, the printer is dynamic (I’ll explain in next pic).
Each label I made has a default printer based on my settings here. The user can pick a different printer if needed, but it just follows that Receipt labels will usually print to the printer in Receiving.
Thanks to @jtownsend for the magic EFx code and @Chris_Conn for the BarTender guidance.

Pretty cool. Depending on your version of BT, they have an app in the suite called PrintPortal that does this as well via a webpage.

Looks like Microsoft PowerApps. If so, hats off to you @JasonMcD. Either way, whatever it is, hats off to you. That’s cool!
Yes MS Power Apps. That’s my go to. I don’t do real programming.

I was lost when I tried to make one and backed off… I need to take a quick course on it for me to want to use it. But I agree, great tool for non-programmers.
I’ll have to look into it myself. LOL
