If this check box is selected, the user must select a specific printer from a dialog box to print documents created in the following sessions:
  • Print Goods Received Note (whinh3412m100)
  • Generate Storage List (whinh3415m000)
  • Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000)

Except for the latter four sessions, these sessions can be defined as activities in warehousing procedures. If these activities are performed automatically according to the warehousing procedure, you must nevertheless manually select a specific printer to print the documents created in these sessions.

For example, if the Print Bills of Lading (whinh4470m000) activity is performed automatically according to your warehousing procedure, in the Print Bills of Lading (whinh4470m000) session you must manually select a specific printer to print the Bills of Lading. After clicking the print button, a dialog box appears from which you can select a printer.

If this check box is cleared, the documents are printed by a default printer. The user does not have to select a printer from a dialog box after clicking the print button. The documents are automatically printed if printing is performed as an automatic activity in a warehousing procedure. The application deploys this sequence to search for the default printer that prints the documents:

  1. Is a default printer specified for the documents in the Default Devices by User (whwmd1545m000) session? If yes, this printer prints the documents. If no, step 2.
  2. Is a printer specified for the zone of the staging location from which the goods are shipped? If yes, this printer prints the documents. If no, step 3. You can specify a printer for a zone in the Warehouse - Storage Zones (whwmd3110s000) session.
  3. Is a printer specified for the activity in the Activities by Procedure (whinh0106m000) session? If yes, this printer prints the documents. If no, you must select a printer from a dialog box.

Otherwise, you must select a printer from a dialog box after clicking the print button in these sessions.
