Documents

Select the documents you want to print.

Print Pick List: Select to print a Pick List. A Pick List is a printed list showing the Work Order Material Requirements for a specified Work Order. Not selecting means a Pick List will not be printed with the Traveler.

Tip

At least one of the document options must be selected for the PRINT button to be enabled.
Print Routing: Select to print a Routing. A Routing is a list showing the Work Order Operations for a specified Work Order. Not selecting means a Routing will not be printed with the Traveler.

Note

The Routing pulls its information from the list of Work Order Operations for the Work Order Item, not from the Item's Bill of Operations.
Print Packing List: Select to print a Packing List. This option is only enabled when a Work Order is driven by a Sales Order. The option is not available for manually generated Work Orders. Not selecting means a Packing List will not be printed with the Traveler.
Print Work Order Label: Select to print Work Order Labels. If selected, the quantity of Work Order Labels printed will equal the quantity of Items ordered by the Work Order. Not selecting means Work Order Labels will not be printed with the Traveler.

Note

By default, the system will print Work Order Labels in the same quantity as the quantity ordered by the Work Order. If you want to print fewer than the quantity ordered, use the "Print Work Order Form" option.

To the far right of the screen, the following buttons are available:

CANCEL: Closes the screen without printing any Traveler paperwork, returning you to the application desktop.
PRINT: Runs the report associated with this screen.
