Distribution, Manufacturing, and Internet Modules

We are setting up a new distribution warehouse that will be shipping in addition to our current location.  Currently we print all picking sheets.  We see that we can set the system to print for a specific warehouse but it appears that we would need to enter that each time we print.  Is there a way around this?  We'd like to have the main warehouse only print picking sheets for warehouse 000 and the other location only print for warehouse 002.

You can set up two forms, one for each, and then hard code the selection criteria of the specific warehouse code in each.

I tried that but it cleared the print flag in the so_salesorderheader for all records regardless of which ones were actually printed.

If you have a real problem, you could find a master developer that can modify the program to set the defaults.

You could probably add a button to the Picking Sheet Printing screen that runs a script.

The script could possibly set the warehouse code default using the SendKeys command.

I suppose each user could be assigned to a customization group, and each customization group (based on warehouse code), would have a customized screen with a button to assign the warehouse code selection automatically and then process the print command.

Since the print flag is in the header, but the warehouse is a detail field, printing picking sheets by warehouse and managing those print flags at the same time does seem tricky to me too.

Extended Solutions created SO-1198 "Picking Sheet Printing to Multiple Warehouse Printers" as one solution to this problem.  When you print the picking sheets, we split the print job up based on the warehouse code and send pieces of it to different locations.  This approach has logistic issues, but it's one idea.

The source for this is available to development partners.

We had the same problem. I came up with an "ugly" but cheap solution. I have a spare PC on my desk running MAS and a Macro program.

Problem solved, and tickets print automatically in both warehouses all day.
