		  via the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Send To</GUIRef> command in the session's <GUIRef href="" role="manual">File</GUIRef> menu, to a ERP specific MS Word template. Based on this template, one or more
		  Word documents are generated automatically.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>MS Excel: in a similar way, you can send a set of records to a
		  ERP specific MS Excel template to create an Excel workbook. Changes made in
