Outbound activities linked to specific events

Some of the activities that can be configured in the outbound activity screen are directly linked to a specific activity. The settings for Active and Automatic are used to control if the action should occur. The Active flag means the activity should not execute automatically or even upon user request. The Automatic flag is used to control if the activity should occur automatically without user interaction. The Automatic flag only applies to those records that have the Active flag set to yes.

The outbound activities and their functions are:

Allocate Orders when Created

When the Automatic flag set to Yes, the system automatically allocates orders when they are created per specified facility, owner, or ship to. The Active flag does not apply to this type of activity.

Print Pick List Report

If the Automatic flag is set to Yes, the pick list (report CRPT54) automatically prints when the allocation process is complete for one or more orders. For this report to print automatically, the report must be configured for Background Printing. You can also print specific pick list reports by assigning them to the owner or ship to customer using the Owner Reports tab on the Owner configuration tab. If the Active flag is set to No the pick list will not print even if the user selects the option to print the pick list report from the Shipment Order screen.

Print Case Labels

This setting manages if Case Labels are to be printed when an allocation is performed against an order. Specific label formats can be created for the owner and ship to customer, and are assigned using the Owner Labels tab on the owner configuration.

Print Carrier Compliant Labels

This setting manages if Carrier Compliant Labels are to be printed when an allocation is performed against an order. Specific label formats can be created for the owner and ship to customer, and are assigned using the Owner Labels tab on the owner configuration.
