Printing Ship Tickets in Batches

Use the Batch Print Shipping Tickets screen to print ship tickets in batch processes. You can select the ship tickets to print using the branch, ship via, and order shipping date.

After making your selections, the system lists the corresponding ship dates and quantities of tickets to print, sorted by the ship date. You can then select which tickets to print.

To print ship tickets for orders that contain open serial numbers, you must be assigned the SERIAL.OVRD authorization key to complete the printing process.

Use the Footer Message For Pick Tickets And Ship Tickets control maintenance record to define the footer message to include on ship tickets.

Note: If you entered !NOBO as the first line in the shipping instructions of a sales order, the shipping instructions for the backordered items on the order are not included on the shipping ticket.

Use the Print Ship Ticket Instead of Pick Ticket control maintenance record to print acknowledgements for return goods using the phantom processor. Set this control maintenance record to yes if your company uses ship tickets in lieu of pick tickets.
