Target system configuration view: PROCESS DIRECTOR Accounts Payable

Use these settings to configure the PROCESS DIRECTOR Accounts Payable target system.

To access this view, select a Services node in the administration tree view, select PROCESS DIRECTOR Accounts Payable (or AP Essentials Connect -PROCESS DIRECTOR Accounts Payable), and select Configuration.

The services and settings available can vary, depending on your role and which Services node you selected in the administration tree. Use these settings to specify settings for the target service.

Output image format	Determines the format of the output invoices. TIF – A black-and-white TIF image. PDF – If the original PDF is in color, the output PDF is also in color. Original text layers are preserved. If the original PDF does not contain text layers, Tungsten AP Essentials adds text layers from the interpreted data. PDF (black and white) – A black-and-white PDF. Original text layers are discarded and recreated using Tungsten AP Essentials interpretation results. Select this setting for the smallest file size. When Tungsten AP Essentials receives XML invoices, it creates invoice images that may contain color; however, the file size is still small. No image – Invoice images are not sent to the target system. Only invoice data is sent. If you change the output format, the change only applies to invoices that you upload after the change is made. Invoices that are already in the system at the time of the change are not affected.

If you create your own XSLT file, select Tungsten AP Essentials XML (2.0), and use the Tungsten AP Essentials XML (2.0) schema when creating your XSL transformation.
XSL transformation	Specifies the name of the XSLT file you want to use to transform invoice data. The list is populated from files that have been uploaded to the Resources view. This XSLT file contains the default XSL transformation for sending processed invoice information to PROCESS DIRECTOR Accounts Payable. You can download the file as-is, and upload it to the Resources view, and specify the file here to use it in your solution. You can optionally modify the transformation to meet your specific needs, but this is not necessary.

When using Tungsten AP Essentials Connect and you change the target system configuration settings, run the AP Essentials Connect configuration wizard again before you upload new invoices.

If you require additional parameters to connect to your system (other than CLIENT, USER, SYSNR, and so on) you can use the Password setting to specify a connection string that contains all of the parameters that you need.

Begin the connection string with #CONNECTIONSTRING#, followed by each parameter and its value, separated by spaces.

Example:

#CONNECTIONSTRING#R3Name=QA2 MSSERV=3600 GROUP=PUBLIC MSHOST=server.example.com CLIENT=110 LANG=EN USER=Some_User PASSWD=Abcd.1234 SYSNR=00

If you use this method to connect, you do not need to specify the other connection settings in this view.
