Option 6Shipping Papers

This function allows you to print shipping papers from the Sales Orders file. These forms are printed on either standard 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper or special preprinted forms, depending on the entry in the Parameters file. The header on shipping papers show the company name and address, and various order data from the Sales Orders record.

If a different warehouse was specified for the line item than the warehouse entered on the order record, the line item warehouse and description is printed on the shipping papers. Also, if a special instruction is specified for the line item, this instruction is printed directly following that line item.

A sample Shipping Papers form is shown below:
