Print pick lists for a shipment

Related topics

Pick lists for outbound shipments can be generated for a whole shipment or for separate shipment addresses.

Note: If you are using the Shipment type functionality, then you can specify on the shipment type that automatic printouts should be done when a shipment is closed.

Pick release day and time

Functionality also exists allowing you to prevent pick lists from being printed too early for sales orders on outbound shipments. This allows you to keep the orders open as long as possible should you need to change the quantity or add more lines and gives you the space and time to do the picking to make the departure date. The Pick release day and Pick release time fields drive this functionality whereby you denote on what day and at what time the pick list is allowed to be printed per outbound shipment.

For sales orders that are part of the Shipment preparation process (i.e. the Shipment prep flag on the order type is set to YES), these fields are first defined on the Route (which are then copied to the generated Route list and then the generated Outbound shipment). At each stage the entry in those fields can be changed. For outbound shipments that you create manually (i.e. that are not part of the shipment preparation process), you define these fields on the manually created outbound shipment.

The actual printing of the pick lists for outbound shipments can be done via the following:

  • Print sales order pick lists menu item whereby pick lists for up to eight selected orders can be printed at a time. See Check for valid pick release date/time below. If you do not select a specific order and just enter the Dispatch date and Warehouse, the system will select all sales orders according to the dispatch date and warehouse, and create pick lists.
  • Pick list option in Work with outbound shipments (See Print pick lists for a whole shipment) below.
  • Job control. By using Job control you can automate the printing of pick lists for outbound shipments by scheduling a job to run as often as you need, e.g., five times/day.

Check for valid pick release day/time
For all of the above, the system will check that the pick release day and time are valid (i.e. it will compare the actual day and time to the Pick release day and time. If the Pick release day and time are prior to the actual day and time the pick list(s) will be printed.

An alert can be configured to flag the user should a pick list fail to be printed. The event type for this alert is PCKLNOTPRT (Pick list not printed). See Configure the system to send/receive alert messages for instructions.
