Invoice Creation - File - Picking Slip

A picking slip is a held invoice printed as a slip to be used for picking the goods from stock. When the stock is picked, you can retrieve the slip, adjust it if necessary, and print it. A picking slip can also be created when managing a completed invoice.

Once a picking slip is recalled, you can amend the order, delete it, or re-hold it as required as per a normal invoice entry sales process.

Stock is put on hold when the picking slip is printed. Stock is taken off hold when the invoice is printed, and both the stock and debtor files are updated.

To save an order as a picking slip:

  1. Process the invoice to completion stage.

Refer to "Sales - Invoice Creation" for the steps involved.

  1. Select FILE | PICKING SLIP.

Micronet displays the Invoice Total screen.

User defined fees and charges are setup using the Miscellaneous Charges screen in your company configuration – see "Edit Company - Edit - Misc Charges". For example, the C/C Fee and Surcharge fields shown on the screen above are user defined miscellaneous charges.

Technical Tip

If an order contains a kitted item and the Create W/O on Picking Slips field on the Kitting Configuration screen is set to Yes – see "Edit Company - Edit - Kit", Micronet automatically creates a works order for the kitted item when you save the order as a picking slip. The works order number is displayed at the bottom of the main Micronet screen.

You can view and amend this works order if required – see "Recalling a Works Order".

If you reload the picking slip in Invoice Creation and save it to a picking slip again, Micronet displays a warning message that a works order already exists.

If you have made changes to the picking slip and you want Micronet to recreate the works order, select Yes. This will delete the original works order and create a new one.

Alternatively, select No to keep the original works order.
