Print or Reprint a Packing List

Use the Packing List Print (OPL) program to print or reprint a packing list for a specific confirmed shipment; the list includes all items ordered whether or not the items are in this shipment. See Background and Road Map for more information.

Caution
To avoid reprinting packing lists for every sales order in your system, be sure to enter Selection options or click List.

  1. Set your options:

    1. Click the Runtime tab to set runtime options. See Set Options for Reports and Inquiries.

    2. Click the Selection tab to enter an order number, date, or range or click List to enter a list of shipments that are not consecutively numbered. See Create a List of Shipments.

Caution
If you do not enter selection options, you will reprint packing lists for all sales shipments in the system.
