8.6.4.  Packing List Batch

If you want to print Packing Lists or Sales Order Pick Lists in batch mode—or to gain greater visibility over your Packing and Pick Lists—select the "Packing List Batch" option. The following screen will appear:

Note

A Sales Order "Pick List" will be printed if the Sales Order does not yet have a Shipment Number associated with it—that is, if no Line Item quantity has been issued to shipping. If stock has been issued to Shipping, then the "Packing List" report definition will be used. The Pick List and Packing List Form assignments are made on the Customer Form Assignments screen.
