How Epicor Print Preview Works
The process typically begins when a user opens a transaction or report and selects a print or preview option. Epicor uses the relevant transaction data, report definition, and print settings to generate a view of the document. The user can then inspect the result and proceed with printing, saving, or distributing it according to the available workflow.
The precise options depend on the Epicor product, application version, report configuration, and user permissions. A practical review generally includes checking the document identity, recipient information, financial values, page layout, and any required supporting details.
- Choose the document: Open the relevant invoice, purchase order, sales order, or report.
- Generate the preview: Select the appropriate report or print action and review the rendered output.
- Verify the details: Check transaction values, company information, formatting, and page breaks.
- Complete the output: Print, save, or distribute the document using the options supported by the application.
Key Details to Check Before Printing
Print preview is most useful when treated as a document-control step rather than a simple visual check. For finance teams, incorrect totals, missing tax details, or incomplete customer information can affect billing accuracy and the quality of financial records. Reviewing the preview helps users catch visible issues before a document reaches its intended recipient.
For example, when reviewing a supplier-facing purchase order, confirm that the supplier name, purchase order number, item descriptions, quantities, prices, delivery information, and approval details are displayed correctly. For customer invoices, verify invoice dates, payment terms, tax amounts, line totals, and the final amount due.
The selected Invoice Print Format also influences how invoice information is presented. Consistent formatting makes documents easier to read and helps customers identify the transaction details needed for payment and reconciliation.
Business Uses Across Finance and Operations
Epicor Print Preview supports document review across purchasing, sales, accounts payable, accounts receivable, inventory, and management reporting. Procurement teams can review purchase orders before sending them to suppliers. Accounts receivable teams can inspect customer invoices before distribution, while finance managers can check report presentation before sharing financial information internally.
Where an organization uses Epicor Integration Finance processes to connect ERP transaction data with other finance applications, document consistency becomes especially important. Teams should confirm that the values displayed in the preview agree with the source transaction and that required fields remain visible after data passes between systems.
Organizations extending finance workflows around epicor should also establish clear rules for report ownership, document templates, access permissions, and output approval. These controls help maintain consistent documents across departments and locations.
Configuration and Workflow Considerations
Print output depends on the report definition, template, printer settings, and document-specific configuration available in the installed Epicor environment. Administrators may need to review report styles, page dimensions, logos, headers, footers, and field placement when a preview does not match the intended business format.

Connecting Document Review With Finance Automation
Print preview focuses on the appearance of a document, while finance automation can address the transaction work surrounding it. For instance, customer payment processing may require matching remittance details to open invoices, identifying deductions, resolving unapplied cash, and posting receipts to the ERP. These activities are distinct from checking the layout of a printed invoice or report.
