The Export Orders order processor allows you to create PDF, RTF or XML versions of the reports. The RTF (and XML) versions of the reports can be amended using various applications, for example, Microsoft Word. The exported file can automatically be placed into a zip file. You can also choose to Show Product references in the reports produced.

If you are using the Automation for Actinic Batch Order Processor with Multi-site Automation for Actinic you may have a different invoice for each site (for example, with a different company logo). If the Reports in Actinic site directory option is selected the various reports will be looked for in the Actinic Site directory rather than the main Actinic directory.

Reports to Export
The Packing List, Invoice or Data Entry Reports can be selected. These will then be generated during a Run.

Print Options
You can decide whether to create a single file for each order, for each report type or 1 file containing all the order details for each report type (from the selected report types). If you want to use your custom report text you should select the Use Actinic report text prompts option.
