Description. Storage of printed folios to be viewed/printed without re-generation.

Property Determination. Activating this parameter allows a property to store an exact copy of a folio as a PDF when it is created. If the saved folio is being viewed or re-printed, then it is pulled from the stored PDF folio. The copies of the folios are stored in the location of, for example, D:\micros\opera\export\<schema_name>\<resort>\folios\<business date>.

Note: When set to Y, the "Do you want to print/preview an Invoice?" prompt will not display.

Activation / Inactivation Rules.
