This is what the Advanced Print module does. It's a third party product from
Altec. (http://altec-inc.com/) In addition to scanning documents, it will
capture your prints without actually printing them. It stores the documents in
a SQL database and indexes fields for faster retrieval. We bought it and have
only played around with it. It does not appear to be easily installed on your
own though.

We are considering keeping less paper files around and scanning in
documents to store electronically. I am looking for recommendations on
how best to achieve this.

What type of scanner would you recommend?

What type of software, if any, would you recommend?

We have the Vantage Document Association Module which is very limited,
and would possibly like to link some documents that we scan in to the
Sales Order, but that does not appear to be possible. We could link it
to the job. Is anyone else trying to attach documents like customer
PO's electronically to the Vantage system? How are you going about
it?. Does Epicor have a better option for document management?

Thanks,
