Setting Up the Document Automation Interface
Infor CPQ Document Automation is a separately purchased product that is used to create configurable documents - for example, proposals that include MSDS (material safety data sheets), drawings, cover letter, and specifications. You can combine various pieces of documentation to build a single document. You can also build documents such as manufacturing instruction sheets, additional shipping information, or sales order addenda that further describe the options in a configured product.
You can access the Document Automation interface through the button and menu option on some CloudSuite Industrial forms. The button and menu option are displayed only after you have set up fields on the Inventory Parameters form.
To set up CloudSuite Industrial to work with Infor CPQ Document Automation:
- On the Inventory Parameters form, specify the Configurator URL, which is used to access the Infor CPQ Document Automation application. Save your changes.
- Specify the name of the Document Automation Application ID, as provided in your Infor CPQ documentation. CloudSuite Industrial uses this name to locate the name space and rule sets.
- Specify the appropriate Document Automation Name Space, as provided in your Infor CPQ documentation.
- Optionally, specify a Default Rule Set to be used when the interface is opened. The list of rule sets is based on the specified Document Automation Application ID and Document Automation Name Space. If no default rule set is specified here, you must select a rule set before continuing with document generation in Infor CPQ.
- After setting up the fields, restart CloudSuite Industrial so that the buttons are enabled throughout the application.
