We use this script to export sent letter post envelopes and their attachments to PostServis. This service is provided by Česká pošta. The customer transfers the data for processing in electronic form and Postservis prints and envelops it - thus transforming it into a physical form. Produced shipments are immediately handed over for delivery. In this way it is possible to send up to 8 "* .pdf" files with the number of 8 A4 sheets.

In order to be able to export a shipment, the Partner or Contact person of both the Recipient and the Sender must be filled in the sent letter post document. At the same time, their addresses must be filled in here. Before exporting, it is necessary to set the username and password for logging in to the PostServis service using the parameters. It is also necessary to have the type of exported shipment set (by a script parameter or in the Shipment type field).

The script can be run over one document (envelope) of sent mail, over marked records or over a filter. When started, it exports envelopes with all attachments in the "* .pdf" format to the PostServis service. Attachments will always be exported in the order in which they were attached to the document. In this order, they will also be printed and included in the shipment by PostServis.
