Capturing CostRecovery Table Custom Fields

You can capture custom fields in the CostRecovery table by completing the following tasks.

  • Add the custom field to the SQL database
  • Enable the custom field in the AccuRoute Server Administrator
  • Create a Filescan control file

Add the custom field to the SQL database

To add the custom field

In the SQL server, modify the dbo.CostRecoveryData table to add a column for the field using the following format for the field name: prTemplateVars.XXXX (where XXXX is the name of the field you are trying to capture). For example, if you are trying to capture the identification of a multifunctional device that scanned a job and need to add a custom field called MFDID, in the SQL database,  you have to create a field called prTemplateVars.MFDID.

Enable the custom field in the Server Administrator

To enable the custom field

  1. Double-click Billing in the Components node to open Properties dialog box.
  2. Click the Configuration tab to open Configurationdialog box.
  3. Verify that the Enable Collection of billing data check box is selected.  
  4. In the area labeled Select the columns to populate, find the new field you added in the SQL database and select the box beside the column to enable it.
  5. Click OK.

Create a Filescan control file

To create a Filescan control file

Create a filescan control file that references your new field.  In the control file use the variable #XXXX . For example, if you create the field prTemplateVars.MFDID, use the variable #MfpID in the control file.
