Automatic Backorder Allocation - File - Slip

Use this option to create and print picking slips for the items that have been automatically allocated to backorders by Micronet. It also prints an allocation report showing the debtors and backorders that items have been allocated to.

If you toggled the ALWAYS PRINT COMPILED SLIPS option off on the Automatic Backorder Allocation 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 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.
