Allocation From Purchasing / Transfers - File - Picking Slip

Use this option to create and print picking slips for the pre-allocated items you have selected on the Allocation From Purchasing / Transfers screen. It also prints an allocations report showing where all the items have come from (receipt, transfer, etc.) and where they need to go (debtor, picking slip number, etc.).

If you toggled the ALWAYS PRINT COMPILED SLIPS option off on the Allocation From Purchasing / Transfers screen, Micronet will only print picking slips when a backorder has been fully allocated. Therefore, when a picking slip is printed, it shows that the order is ready to be shipped and invoiced.

 

Technical Tip

If the Order Type field on the Invoice Header screen is set to Compile One Invoice, Micronet will add the pre-allocated items to the original picking slip. If a picking slip doesn't already exist, it will create a new picking slip for the remaining items to be added to. Refer to "Maintaining the Invoice Header (v2.7)" for more information.

To create and print picking slips for pre-allocated items received:

  1. Complete the fields on the Allocation From Purchasing / Transfers screen.

Refer to "Sales - Allocation From Purchasing / Transfers".

  1. Select FILE | PICKING SLIP.

Depending on the option you selected in the Freight field on the Allocation From Purchasing / Transfers screen, Micronet may display either the Enter Freight screen or the Enter Freight Number screen.

  1. Enter the appropriate freight amount for the batch or the individual picking slip then select Ok.

Micronet displays the Select Output Device screen.

  1. Select whether you want the picking slips displayed on screen, printed, saved to a specific type of file, faxed, or emailed in a specific format.

 

Reference

For more details on these options, refer to "Selecting the Output for Inquiries and Reports".

Micronet prints or displays each picking slip. If you selected Use Freight Table in the Freight field on the Allocation From Purchasing / Transfers screen, Micronet prompts you to enter a freight table for each picking slip.

  1. When it has finished printing all the picking slips for the batch, Micronet prints or displays the Processed Receipt Allocations report showing all the pre-allocated items posted.
