Printing Settings
If the DeviceHub feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, you can configure the printing of documents by using the following settings on the Warehouse Management tab of the Sales Orders Preferences (SO101000) form.
| Setting | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Print Shipment Confirmation Automatically | Selected | With this check box selected, the system prints the shipment confirmation automatically when a user confirms a shipment. |
| Print Shipment Labels Automatically | Selected | With this check box selected, the system prints the shipment labels for the packages included in a shipment when the user confirms the shipment. |
Other Settings That Affect the Workflow
You can affect the workflow for wave picking by specifying additional settings on the Sales Orders Preferences (SO101000) form:
- To make the user confirm that the items have been placed in the tote assigned to the shipment for which the items are being picked, select the Confirm Tote Selection on Wave Picking.
- To make the system print both packing slips and pick lists for a picking worksheet, select the Print Packing Slips with Pick Lists check box on the Warehouse Management tab.
Known Process Limitations
If the Automatic Packaging feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, a user can process in Pack mode only shipments packed to a single box. The processing of shipments packed in two or more boxes in Pack mode is currently not supported.
