What is this new Delivery Options button?
According to Oracle’s release notes, the R12.1.3 release makes the following functionality available: “When submitting concurrent requests, users can now choose to have the request output delivered using BI Publisher’s Delivery Manager. The output can be automatically emailed, faxed, sent to an IPP printer, or delivered using FTP or SFTP.” ~ Section 4.1.3.3. of Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 Content Document.
So, what does this mean for users?
The hook in to BIP Delivery Manager means that users can reduce manual intervention and the need for custom code in order to automate delivery of single reports to a final location (e.g. a single invoice can be faxed directly from within EBS without the need to print and fax from a separate machine).
Our quick reference guide below will shed light on the new ‘Delivery Opts’ Button functionality now standard in R12.1.3 and explore the pros and cons of each feature.
