We batch fax PO's from Vantage. Select the PO's, click on FAX, and
then the faxes are automatically sent. We use GFI Faxmaker to send
the faxes. We have a customized screen in Vantage that lists the
PO's created on the date we select. We then just highlight them and
click the fax button. Works very well. An email is sent back from
Faxmaker indicating success or failure for all faxes sent this way.
Really speeds up the process of faxing. We have it on version 5.2,
unfortunately, we are having trouble getting ahold of the guy who
wrote the program for us, so unsure as to whether it will work on 6.x
yet.
