Documents to be Picked
The Documents to be Picked report can be run by branch and you can specify the shipper you would like to print pick tickets for and/or select the date range for the document you would like to include and whether you would like to include orders with pick tickets already printed. For example, if you would like to print pick tickets for all orders that have a date requested of 03/20/2020, simply type the beginning and ending dates as that date. The Documents to be Picked report also can be run to include Processing Purchase Orders as well as Transfers.
Once you have selected the parameters for which you would like to run the report, press OK or escape to see a list of the documents that fit the parameters you selected. This list can be manipulated on the right-hand side under Options. The Options will allow you to include or not include the pick tickets to be printed as well as gives you the opportunity to highlight any document on the list and perform a document inquiry. If you would like to see order detail for a specific order on the list, the report will allow you to double click into the selected order and will take you to the order inquiry screen.
The Documents to be Picked Report gives you many different column options as well. The columns can be adjusted so that you can select to see any of the columns shown below.
