On the Print page, specify print information. If you select Automatic Print, then the transfers are printed as they are approved. Click Submit to complete printing of the pick ticket. Click the back arrow to return to the grid. The approved and printed transfer remains listed in the grid so you can select other transfers to print. Conduct another search to refresh the grid. Only approved transfers can be printed. Print one transfer at a time.
