Auto printing stored reports

In addition to the batch print functions, several functions that automatically print pick tickets, order acknowledgments, delivery documents, invoices, purchase orders, and warehouse transfers when file updating is performed.

If you set up an auto stored report, you can use specific options to print these documents instead of the defaults built into the print program. The auto stored report options are also used when you print documents on demand. If an auto stored report is not available, the defaults are used.

The auto stored reports are warehouse-specific, so you must create a stored report for each warehouse.

To implement this feature, use the predefined naming convention to set up a stored report. The name is comprised of these components:

  1. @ symbol
  2. Abbreviation for the type of document
  3. Warehouse name

For example, @pckmain can be specified for the auto stored report for pick tickets in the Main warehouse.

Set up all auto print stored reports with a scheduled date far in the future, such as 12/31/50, so that the reporting service does not pick them up.

Note: Only use alphabetic characters and numbers when you set up the auto stored report name. With the exception of @, the auto stored report fails if you use punctuation marks and special characters.
