Journal image format?

Hello-

Our Accounting department requires a hard copy of receipts for the audit trail.

I'd like to write a utility to print all the journal receipts.

The database field is in the Journal table and is called ReceiptCompressed.

I have extracted an entry but cannot determine the file type. I've tried unzipping it, viewing it as a TIFF/BMP/JPG/GIF.

The header is ZIP01PK which made me think it is compressed using ZIP but that didn't work either.

Any thoughts how to extract and view these database entries?

Thank-you!

I am trying the plan B as you suggested. At this time the Accounting department doesn't trust the sub-ledger. I will try again! Your post made me laugh. Considering we are just about to finish our first physical inventory with RMS a laugh is a great thing. Thank you!

Jassen, The format of the data in the Journal table is XML. XML that is encrypted and compressed. The plain-text equivelant is just the RMS Receipt template with the variables replaced and loop unrolled.

We have created a tool for decompressing/decrypting the journal then renders it into an image. If you need more information, please drop me an email and we an discuss.

We had a similar requirement - after I told them that the printer was a thermal printer and that THEY would have to photocopy all the receipts - so that it could be kept for x number of years, we never heard back from them. But I like "the pounding sand answer better" - good for you Jassen.
