After becoming one of the first output management ISVs in the world to announce its migration to pure extensions-based integration with Microsoft Dynamics last year, Formpipe Lasernet is kicking off the New Year by launching onto AppSource.

Thought to be among the first output management ISVs to go live on the platform – Microsoft’s destination to help business users find, try and use line-of-business Software as a Service (SaaS) apps from Microsoft and its partners – Dynamics users across the globe will now be able to explore the features and benefits Lasernet offers with convenience and peace of mind that comes with Microsoft’s endorsement.

As a long-standing Microsoft gold partner, and member of the tech giant’s Technology Adoption Program (TAP), Mike Rogers, sales and marketing director at Formpipe Lasernet, believes AppSource, unveiled at 2016’s Worldwide Partner Conference, will help the firm reach a new, global market. Mike explains: “The great thing about Lasernet is that, despite over twenty years on the market, we continue to embrace innovation and listen to our partners and end users to make sure our software does what we set out for it to do: streamline customer communications management, drive efficiencies and reduce the headache associated with creating, storing and disseminating business critical documents.

“We’re proud to once again be ahead of the curve – one of the first to drop overlays in exchange for pure extensions-based integration, and one of the first to launch on AppSource. The latter represents a significant move forward for our global expansion plans and I can’t think of a better way to begin the year!”

Lasernet is sold and supported through a certified, global partner network. For more information, please get in contact.

e-Invoicing enables you to digitally transform error prone paper based invoicing processes into efficient slick business branded documents in any file or format. The cost to process a paper document manually is estimated at 26 EUR, but moving this to a digital document could present a saving of up to 90%.

Traditional invoicing methods are error prone, time consuming and costly. Human error caused by manual re-keying is just one of many processing errors that can occur and getting things back on track can involve a lot of time and effort. Sterling Commerce averaged this out at 45 EUR per document, but the situation is completely avoidable via e-Invoicing.

e-Invoicing by Formpipe Lasernet offers the ability to support any worldwide standard for e-Invoicing including XML, EDIFACT, Chorus Pro and ZUGFeRD. Positioned between Dynamics and your finance solution, e-Invoicing generates electronic documents that can be created and customised by non-IT trained staff with ease.

Generating EDI could not be simpler in the Lasernet developer which facilitates simple set up from template (see screen 1) or manual creation (see screen 2) of escaping, grouping, separations and segments in the way EDI (UNA) characters are to be embedded into the EDI file after conversion has taken place.

It’s the time of year for the most important event for Microsoft users and IT professionals in Germany. The European equivalent to Microsoft Inspire in USA, the mbuf (Microsoft Business User Forum) attracts decision makers from all industries and sectors, looking for the next developments in Microsoft’s CRM and ERP technology. The annual event will be held 15-16 May 2017 at International Congress Center Stuttgart, and will include lectures on collaboration, cloud computing and Dynamics.

We look forward to knowledge sharing on the advances in Microsoft Dynamics 365, and demonstrating the power Lasernet’s connectors can provide for your business’s Dynamics. Early adopters and companies pushing digital transformation can get hands on experience using our latest technology in a relaxed atmosphere. We’ll be in good company at the event, with partners from our reseller network in attendance; including HSO, Rödl Dynamics AG, KCS.net Holding AG and Alnamic AG.

“We are at this event to support our mixed community of partners, and also to meet with new prospective partners. This is one of the most relevant events for Lasernet’s solutions and it has the advantage of being directly associated with Microsoft and their products. Although we are rapidly growing across the USA and UK we are keen to keep our German and European community and partner network strong. ” Allen Jones, Lasernet

What Lasernet will be doing at mbuf:

• Lasernet exhibit on stand …
• Presentation on optimising your Dynamics with Lasernet by Nils Gerloff’

Lasernet’s Nils Gerloff will demonstrate how to effectively and efficiently create company-wide business documents on Microsoft Dynamics AX 365 Operations. Due to the use of Reporting Services (SSRS) and Visual Studio, creating consistent business documentation a great deal of time and effort invested. Combine the strengths of SSRS (including country-specific legal requirements) with the strengths of LaserNet, or skip SSRS completely, in order to create business documents that meet all your requirements. In addition to many helpful features LaserNet also supports most modern communication channels such as ZUGFeRD and e-mail. Nick will showcase how, with our straightforward and flexible solutions, business documents and reports in your ERP system can be developed up to eight times faster.

Formpipe is TAP member and gold partner to Microsoft and therefore presented a matching 365 LaserNet version that was ready straight from the box at the launch of Microsoft Dynamics. LaserNet is the world’s leading software for certified AX 2012 output and document management with over 300 successful AX projects.

The face of retail is rapidly changing with many of our household named stores disappearing as consumers move towards an entirely different shopping experience. House of Frasier, once one of the most popular department stores within the UK, announced the closure of over half its stores just days after Mothercare announce it is to close 50 of its 137 stores.

As these high street stores disappear, the remainder cannot become complacent. Whilst buzzwords/phrases such as process optimization, improved efficiency and digital transformation have been around for some time, they are here to stay, and it’s time to delve deeper into ways of working smarter and faster without adding due complication to processes in order to survive.

So where does document management technology come into all of this?

Retail stock commonly consists of a combination of sizes, colors and/or styles across all items. Take sneakers/trainers as an example. In the sales order below the stock appears multiple times and needs to be summarized.

In this instance, if a sportswear retail chain wanted to know the exact number of items in stock of a certain item number, size, colour and/or style, the information could be at multiple positions in the same sales order/purchase order. This presents and extremely complex issue as the items can appear on thousands of lines and in turn creates performance issues. Just imagine the complexity and time involved to design a report of some 5000 sales lines, testing and then having to re-test if something has changed, furthermore the impact on performance as lots of data is fetched / retrieved from the database

Formpipe Lasernet, a specialist provider of document output management solutions, has created a solution to this issue in its latest product release with an extension to its current connector, which has been developed specifically with retailer in mind.

The extension to the connector can summarize any combination of lines within a sales/purchase order and present the data in an XML file within a matter of seconds. Performance issues are taken care of too as the connector only collects and processes the information required to compile the report, which also reduces consumption of Cloud/Azure resources and processing time.

Retailers are now able to select a specific method from within the Dynamics Lasernet connector to build a defined the required report structure with ease. This functionality is provided “out of the box” which intern reduces the complexity involved in pre-production testing. An illustration is provided below:

Our retail clients can also reuse the same code/structure across different reports by simply adding the same method to any report, resulting in a grouped and nicely formatted report as illustrated below:

Beginning today, you can realise the benefits of streamlining item centric documentation which represents the true value of your brand. Together with the Lasernet technology and expertise we have helped retailers such as Marc Jacobs to design and disseminate attractive, brand-rich documentation, including purchase orders and invoices, with flexibility, ease and precision. Formpipe Lasernet is Microsoft Gold Partner and member of Microsoft’s PREP program, with over 2500 successful implementations worldwide.

Formpipe Lasernet, specialist provider of document management solutions for Microsoft Dynamics, is advising Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) vendors to take advantage of opportunities to improve their document management. The recommendation follows Formpipe Lasernet’s recent attendance at Salons Solutions in Paris, France.

With the event focusing on ERP applications, it provided Formpipe Lasernet with the unique opportunity to discuss document management solutions for ERP applications with a variety of vendors. As Formpipe Lasernet operate independently from these vendors, it presented them with the chance to provide solution recommendations to optimise current ERP solutions. Document creation remains an important consideration for ERP vendors and represents an area of improvement for the industry.

Formpipe Lasernet also utilised their attendance at the event to showcase the power of its document management offerings. Through demonstrations at the booth, as well as an insightful workshop, Formpipe Lasernet gave attendees a glimpse into how to utilise ERP solutions to create and distribute documents.

Looking back on the event, Mike Rogers, chief commercial officer at Formpipe Lasernet, commented: “Salons Solutions, once again, proved to be an incredibly insightful and productive event. It was great to be able to work with existing partners, as well as build new relationships by discussing document management solutions with vendors from across the ERP community.

Looking for the On-Screen Printing Option in On-Premise Dynamics 365 for F&O?

The simple answer to the issue is to stop, as it’s no longer available.

For those with an On-Prem Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations installation, you may have noticed that since updating, the ‘Screen Print Destination’ option has vanished and you are now no longer able to preview reports. Without this feature users now must save the document as a PDF, then open it in order to preview.

This handy feature has only been removed for those with On-Premise installations of Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, those using Azure/Cloud versions still have the option and are not affected. A simple way to bring this feature back is with Lasernet, the leading document management solution for output and data transformation.

The Lasernet Connector for Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations is compatible with all versions (On-Premise, Azure/Cloud) and allows the user to preview reports at the click of a button. Lasernet reinstates the preview option via the ‘Lasernet Screen’ button where users can simply click the option to preview reports without the need to save and re-open the document – a far more user friendly approach compared to standard D365FO/AX.

In addition to this, those requiring printing to remote printers will also find On-Premise Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations falls short as the standard features only allow printing to printers on the same network. To overcome this, the Lasernet Cloud Print Connector enables users to print to remote printers that are not located on the network. Perfect for those remotely printing documents such as labels and shipping notes.

With no plans to implement these features in future On-Premise deployments, if you want to reinstate them, a third party connector such as Lasernet is your only option. To learn more about how Lasernet solves this issue along with many others, please get in touch.

As part of the Microsoft PREP program we have already upgraded our Lasernet Connector for Dynamics to be compatible with version 10, release date 5th April 2019.

Our connectors are compatible with all minor updates (pu/monthly updates) out of the box. In the case of major updates, a fully functioning and compatible connector will be available at least 4 weeks before a new major version becomes globally available to customers.
