Steps and Procedure to reformat BOL document

Documents and processes required for this procedure:

  • .eps file for the background layout of BOL document
  • .bol script which formats and generates the BOL PDF documents
  • “bolsrv” process must be running in background with “f=” argument specified with the .bol script path value
  • Place the .eps file in ‘/tms6/cfg/’ directory
  •  Update TmsPrinter table record
  • Update the .bol script with required “@(x,y)” co-ordinates values to fit data into layout placeholders

    @(x,y) denotes the x and y co-ordinates for the text data to be placed on the document layout

  • Kill and restart currently running “bolsrv” process

  • Login as super user and restart the “cups” printer service

  • After changing @(x,y) values , test the changes by
  • Performing Test load transaction from TMS Navigator client software, from Transaction -> Non Bulk Manual Transaction
  • After performing test transaction, check out the BOL PDF generated at the following path: /tms6/docs/bol/
  • Check whether the PDF file data are placed at proper position or not according to the changes made in @(x,y) values in .bol script
  • If text positions are not proper then repeat the steps 3 to 8 until you have the data placed properly on BOL layout
