Has anyone tried to create a baan report with the production order that included a picture of the item as well?

Thanks,

Hi Marianne,

Are you talking about printing am image... say JPG or BMP of an Item and printing it on the Production Order routing document that goes on the shop floor ?

In Baan IV, we were able to do it... not a full fledged ODM functionality.. but were able to get by. (there is no ODM like in Baan V... even that is not so user friendly)
We used the "Extra Information" field on the master routing to store the name of the image file (the path can be prefixed within the code). Every order printed will create a flat file with the list of Project, Item & Image name. I created a small VB program program which will read that file and print it to the same spooler in the background.
So, effectively, you get the images printed whenever you print a production order. Its not so much of a "nice" solution... but it did get by.
We now have Baan V.. and we ended up creating our own ODM package.

Hope this helps
