Hi,

Wondering if anyone knows the problem?

I was trying to print a picking tickets report and I got this error below:

"The batch of documents sent to PrintBoss doesn't have a flag appearing anywhere in the document

(PB#INFO <FormName>, <BankCode>, <DocNo>, <DocAmnt>, <DocRecip>)"

What did I missed?
I read about this and looks like the report is not triggering the right info.
METHOD 1: PRINTBOSS TRIGGER (USE OF PB#INFO….)
The PrintBoss Trigger is only used for passing four very common pre-defined variable names, DocNo, DocAmnt,
DocRecip, and DocMisc, to PrintBoss. It can ALSO communicate the name of the Form and the Bank Code for
PrintBoss to use. This method requires the ability to edit the accounting software report content in order to
properly add the PB#INFO expression. The syntax follows:
PB#INFO<FORM>,<BANK>,<DOCNO>,<DOCAMNT>,<DOCRECIP>,<DOCMISC>,<DOCMISC2>
The PB#INFO MUST BE CAPITALIZED. Delimiters such as quotes, double quotes, or brackets are not
required, but are recommended for some of the variables to avoid confusion when a comma occurs in the data,
such as the thousands separator in the amount.
Only the first parameter, Form, is required. So the simplest use of this command might be:
PB#INFOMYFORM
The whole expression will be blanked out after PrintBoss processes the information. The expression should be on
a line all by itself, though it can be any size font and can occur anywhere on the page. Here is an example of a
line that would print from the accounting software:
PB#INFOMYCHK1, “CHECKING 1”, “100456”, “1,456.23”, “ACME ELECTRIC”, “527-0012”
Of course, this is the expression after it is evaluated and all the variables are replaced by data. The evaluation
occurs after the report is printed from the accounting software. The actual content might be similar to the
following, although the actual syntax and field names are dependent on your report writer:
"PB#INFO MyChk1, “+
“[“+ db.BankCode + “],” +
“[“+ db.CheckNo + “],” +
“[“+ db.Amount + “],” +
“[“+ db.Payee + “],” +
“[“+ db.VendorFaxNo + “],” +

Can you en light me, please
Thanks,
 
Under the folder where PrintBoss is installed is a specs folder. In there are example Crystal reports for Accpac for the different version that they support. If you look in those .rpt files you'll see the way they write the PB#INFO line.

That message you're seeing means that PrintBoss wasn't able to find a PB#INFO line on the output of the report. Make sure your formula appears on a line by itself (if that's possible) and make sure the font is big enough. Sometimes 6pt works but sometimes PrintBoss can read such small text.

There is also a setting under Options, Settings, Allow Fragmented PB#INFO line. (I can't find that setting on my install, however). When checked that can help PrintBoss to 'see' the PB#INFO line.

Finally - Wellspring Software's technical support is excellent. If you're still stuck then call them.
 
Thanks for your answer man. I tried all of this, even editing my report because one of the flags was missing but nothing works, until made this:

Options > PrintBoss Diver Settings > Disable Capture Mode and will fix your problem

 
That will also stop PrintBoss from capturing all documents.
 
Got it, hehe, but I'm trying to override the error for this report using this options. Do you think activating the option Always Capture could I override this issue?
 
I need because is a customize report, use logo and custom distribution
 
Basically this is the problem: BankCode Flag is missing, and as far is a custom report which I did not create I don;t know where can I redirect a new formula, if I create it, named as Bank Code

PrintBossTrigger Formula:

'PB#INFO ['+{@PrintBossForm}+'], '+
'[],'+
'['+{@PrintBossDocNo}+'],'+
'['+{@PrintBossAmnt}+'],'+
'['+{@PrintBossRecip}+'],'+
'['+{@PrintBossMisc}+']'
