Packing Slip as part of A/R Invoice

A client has requested that for orders that are processed directly as A/R Invoices without Sales Order, Delivery etc, that the second page of the AR Invoice be a packing slip.  
I've tried to do this several different ways with no luck.  In all of the scenarios I've tried I can't seem to get the data to come through. We've tried adding an additional repetitive row, and choosing the Delivery Rows Table and the appropriate column.  We've also copied the PLD directly from a packing slip template and added it to the bottom of the AR Invoice and it still doesn't show up. 
I've also tested the template on both a stand alone AR Invoice and an Invoice linked to a delivery and neither situation pulls the data from the packing slip.  
Is this impossible because the document is never created in the system? Does anyone know if this at all possible? If so how would you go about it?
Thanks.

Hi Eric
No, you can't link it to the picking sheet print like in the sales order. But what you can do. If you are using serial numbers then the second sheet that comes out with serials you can modify to display serials and be the picking sheet. Maybe with development.
Hope this helps

  • When will the packing slip and invoice format be fixed?

    Packing slips and invoices put all products in one column which gives poor formatting that is not suitable for use as a picking slip (using packing slip).  If the code below is used:
                        <table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" class="border">
                            <tbody>
                                <tr>
                                    <td style="width: 10%;"><span>Product Code</span></td>
                                    <td style="width: 20%;"><span>Product</span></td>
                                    <td style="width: 30%;"><span>Description</span></td>
                                    <td style="width: 10%;"><span>Unit Price</span></td>
                                    <td style="width: 10%;"><span>Tax</span></td>
                                    <td style="width: 10%;"><span>Quantity</span></td>
                                    <td style="width: 10%;"><span>Total</span></td>
                                </tr>
                                <tr class="text">
                                    <td style="width: 10%;">{tag_productcode}</td>
                                    <td style="width: 20%;">{tag_productname}</td>
                                    <td style="width: 30%;">{tag_productdescription}</td>
                                    <td style="width: 10%;">{tag_productextaxamount}</td>
                                    <td style="width: 10%;">{tag_producttaxamount}</td>
                                    <td style="width: 10%;">{tag_productquantity}</td>
                                    <td style="width: 10%;">{tag_producttotal}</td>
                                </tr>
                            </tbody>
                        </table>
    Or any variations on width and other types of formatting the output isn't usable as all the product codes are in one cell, all the product names in another cell etc and none line up if the content is wider than the cells.
    As the information is sent by email various CSS and javascript techniques can't be used.
    When is BC going to be fixed so each product code, product desc etc is in its own cell and related items are on the same row?
    Another topic (although closely related to this), I started using BC because it was a powerful tool that was being improved constantly with new features and issues fixed.  The last 12 months have seen a very static system that isn't meeting my clients needs and problems like the one here aren't being fixed.  It honestly can't be called a packing slip or invoice if the rows don't line up and if the system isn't going to be fixed then time to start chosing a system that will be.
    There needs to be a features roadmap and problems like this need to be fixed.

    Liam,
    Just to clarify "Not happy Jan" is a joke here in Australia based on a TV commercial.
    I don't think I have missed the point as my customers are demanding from me that problems with the system are fixed and that functions they would like are added.  In the end they will chose the system that does what they need.  I know strong foundations are vitally important BUT my clients don't ask for strong foundations, they ask for functionality and while other systems have been adding functionality and fixing problems (or at least having solutions for problems) BC hasn't.  I don't want to change to another system as I have invested a lot of time and effort into BC but it is a tough sell when silly problems (my issue which is the result of a poorly structured system for this function) aren't able to be rectified.  Yes I can restyle but in the end I can't have the output I need or should be able to have.
    I felt much more comfortable with the system when there were frequent updates that added features and fixed broken components.  There have been a few additions this year and some have been great - additional users, dynamic content in newsletters - but I want to see more.  Our competitors are using products that are evolving all the time and extensible so to keep up we must have a tool that if it isn't going to be properly extensible (and I get why it isn't and am comfortable with that) it needs to be dynamic, adding functions and fixing problems. 
    In the end if I or other businesses like mine move to another system we won't be coming back and there lies the issue for BC.

  • Using BI Publisher for printing pick, pack slips, invoices and statements

    We are trying to determine if we can use BI Publisher to print, fax, email, archive our primary business documents (pick, pack slips, invoices, AP checks, statements. In the past we used a 3rd party document generation product because the JD Edwards forms software delivered with EnterpriseOne did not have the functionality we needed to automate the presentation and delivery of the documents without modification to the JDE software. We need to automatically sort and split the Spool and or XML files and determine the delivery methods for the output dynamically using the data in the output file, merge with the correct form template(s) and send it to the correct printer(s), fax, email, portal. We also have 3 printers in the mail room for statements less than 8 pages, 8 to 15 pages and 16+ pages. The number of pages produced has to be sorted before it is sent to the printer because of the envelop inserter attached to the printers. Can this be done with the free version of BI Publisher? If not what does the paid version of BI Publisher cost? Does the paid version provide this functionality?

    Hi user953712,
    1. Check format should use fixed row enumeration matched to the number of remittance lines per stub setup on the Payment Document in EBS.
    2. "not using word columns"? I'd be using a table in Word. Is this a text based format? If so consider ETEXT.
    "should go into a different file"? Sounds like bursting or some other mechanism.

  • Is there any way to customise the system generated packing slip?

    Hi All,
    My customer would like to be able to add a few field to the system generated packing slip. I can see where to update things on the invoice in system emails, but couldn't see anywhere for the packing slip?
    Also there's a few random bits that get printed on the invoice that aren't part of the system invoice. Any idea how to remove? My client is printing from Chrome. See below:

    Thanks for replying @thetrickster888,
    Tried all 4 tags but none showed the phone or email on the packing slip
    {tag_addressbilling}
    {tag_addressshipping}
    {tag_recipientaddress}
    {tag_emailaddress}
    We use a pretty standard Registration-buy form and have the phone line as:
    <td><label for="HomePhone">Phone Number </label><br />
                    <input type="text" maxlength="255" class="cat_textbox" id="HomePhone" name="HomePhone" /></td>
    But still doesn't show on the packing slip. I don't know what else to do.
    I can get them all to show on the invoice but not the packing slip. The only thing I can think of is to give the factory the invoice - but then it's not set up well enough for them to mark off the checks when it's made and packed (we have special boxes on the packing slip for this) plus then they can see pricing which we try to avoid.

  • Re: Printing Cancelled line items in the sales order on the packing slip

    Hi gurus,
    Currently we have a unique requirement in our company. Our wholesale customers send the Purchase order to us via EDI. Now saw they have requested an order containing 10 materials out of which we can fulfill only 8. the other 2 due to some reasons cannot be fulfilled.
    So the business wants to keep the other 2 line items to be entered in the sales order with a cancelled status.
    Now correct me if I am wrong, only the confirmed line items will be copied from a sales order to a delivery document. So thats the reason why these cancelled line items cannot be printed on the packing slip.
    However somehow the business wants the packing slip tp have the 2 line items printed on it with the reason of not being delivered. this is to facilitate the customer to know why those items couln't be fulfilled by our company. Now we cannot use a manual work-around of letting the customer know about the impossibility of not fulfilling the other 2 items as there are a lot of orders that come thru EDI per day.
    Can anyone suggest a solution to this requirement asap.
    Thanks in advance
    Vinit

    Hi Vinit,
    This requirement makes a lot of sense, that is to be able to inform your customer that some item(s) of the sales order could not be delivered, not even partially.
    A possible solution would be to allow for zero quantity in the delivery item (check customizing and mark "zero quantity allowed" in the item category).
    Then in the packing split, it would be easy to print the delivered quantity (0) and the sales order quantity (whatever it was), because you have the "null" item available in the delivery.
    Personally I am not found of having have delivery items with zero quantity, but they are useful in that case, and they can also be useful to automatically "close" the sales order item (instead of having to do it manually if the goods can't be served).
    Note: Usually in Consumer Goods, if you can't serve part of a sales order to a customer, you have to close it, because the Retailer's next Sales Order will include the remaining quantity.
    Hope it helps.

  • How do I get the packing slips to print the selections made under a buy now button

    So I started using paypal packing slips about a year and half ago, instead of manually copying the info into an excel document version to create the packing slip. I use the packing slips to make sure I have the order correct and done before packing and then printing out the label. For the past year and half if it is a 'buy now' button with drop down selections, I have to manually edit each one to copy and paste the info from the payment notification into the end of  'thank you' text field. and in the process I have to remember to de-select the save button each time so I don't accidently put that info on my next order. Is there a way either with the button itself or the packing slip to select to have it print out the selections made on the packing slip? Given that in a few cases there are several drop downs, I need them all to list. It would save me a little time with each order and more importantly make sure I have the correct information on the correct packing slip. The information is there. just have not figured out how to automatically have it print on the packing slip. For trivia: I have no problem when I send an invoice or have an item with no selections, but for those items that have selections, because most of my items have several similar variations available, it would be really nice to be able to have it automatically put that information on the packing slip.
    Thanks for any help.

    Could you check your "shrink to fit" and scaling settings? Easiest way is:
    tap the Alt key > File > Page Setup
    The default would be
    * Scale: 100
    * Shrink to fit checked (this disables editing the Scale box, but you can uncheck it, edit, then re-check it)
    If those are at their default settings, perhaps they do not work well for particular pages? You can use Print Preview to examine how shrink-to-fit works on that page and override it by using a different percentage instead.
    Occasionally Firefox printer data gets garbled and manual adjustments don't seem to work. In that case, you can "reset" those printer settings. This article has the steps: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Reset_printer

  • BP Catalog number in Packing Slip

    How can I get the BP Catalog number to show up on the Packing Slip?  If I check "Print BP catalog number in Documents" this causes it to show up on the Invoice, or I can select the OSCN database to get the information on the Invoice.  However, the OSCN database is not available to select in the PLD for Packing Slips.

    Nagarajan,
    Do you have any additional advice on how to make this field appear in relationship to the Items in Package - Delivery table?  For the packing slip I only want to show the items in each package (which is not always the same as what is on the invoice).  When I use the repeating field with the Item Code from the Items in Package - Delivery table and I also put in the same row the A/R Invoice - Rows Customer Vendor Code field, it causes each row with the Item Code to repeat for however many BP Catalog numbers there are.  It does not associate the BP Catalog number with the Item Code.
    I think there must be a way to do this using the Relate To field, but I cannot figure it out.
    Thank you

  • What to ship today? How to create Packing Slip?

    Sales created 20x A/R invoice for today's orders.
    1. For the warehouse who has access to SBO, how do they view what they need to ship today? Is there anyway to display some sort of list what they need to ship today?
    2. Secondly, after I created A/R invoice, how do I create and print Packing Slip? I have browsed SBO documentations, but I didn't find such a thing.
    Please help.

    Correct me if I'm wrong here, but for your Sales department, they should be creating Sales Orders first then Sales Delivery Order and finally Sales AR Invoice.
    This is how SAP B1 can help you track what to ship today. Within each Sales Order, there is a date field for 'estimated delivery date' and for each Sales order your Sales team creates, they can have a estimated delivery date here.
    Once that is done, you can either:
    A. Write a query and use that as a report or attach it to the Alert Management to trigger a message to users on what Sales Orders have to be delivered today.
    Example Query to show what items from the Sales Order that have to be delivered today
    SELECT T0.DocNum, T0.CardCode, T0.CardName, T1.ItemCode, T1.Dscription, T1.Quantity, T1.ShipDate FROM ORDR T0 INNER JOIN RDR1 T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry WHERE T1.ShipDate = (CONVERT(CHAR(8),GETDATE(),10)) AND T1.OpenQty <> 0
    B. Use the Open Item report to see which Sales Orders have not been sent out.
    When your Sales department creates AR Invoices, SAP B1 will already have deducted the inventory from the warehouse, so there's no such thing as 'what to deliver today'

  • Packing slip in A/R

    HIi,
    Is there any way to copy the packing slip layout from de delivery process to the A/R process.
    The thing is my customer does not use delivery. They need to print the packing slip with the invoice.
    Tks

    Hi Adrana.........
                    If your client does not want to use delivery then you can direct create packing list during A/R invoice also.
    Just right click during invoice and do packaging..........

  • How can I customize the packing slip to reorder the products?

    How can I customize a packing slip or invoice so that the products show up in numerical order and Not in some random order (maybe how they were put into the cart?) ?  There HAS to be a way to do this! 

    We don't use the installation maker built into the application builder, instead we use a third party tool that is free and gives additional options; like including a license and to split the installation set to fit on floppies. It's called Inno Setup and can be found on: http://www.jrsoftware.org/. It is script-based but also has a nice wizard.
    Inno Setup does not give you much room for splash screens though. There are a number of shareware alternatives (not all free as Inno as far as I've seen) that does, if you do a search for installer makers on download.com you'll get a list of them.

  • Packing slip

    Hi,
    can one please tell me about the packing slip script
    and what is the functional flow of it.

    ramu

    Hi Ramu,
       Packing slip will be part of shipment process. Basically it will contain list of items packed. So you can trigger it thru' delivery transaction (VL02N/VL01N).
      You can check on the output type using tranaction 'NACE' and then choose Apllication "Shipping"(V2)
    Standard Output : PL00
    Program name  :SDPACKLI
    Sapscript : SD_PACKING_LIST 
      I hope this might of little help

  • Firefox 4 Beta has problem when printing shipping pages from Amazon Marketplace, it shows and prints strange symbols instead of the packing slip and the label. Do you have any idea why is that?

    Well, I installed it 2 days ago and yesterday when I tried to print a packing slip and a label for Amazon customers it printed so many strange symbols that were nothing like what they are supposed to be, not even close. When I printed it with another browser it was all fine, so it is obviously a problem of the new version of my favorite browser. Probably something with the encoding, but since I'm not a computer geek, I cannot give more info. :(

    '''If you go the the menu and click "Print Preview" then it will show normally, and will print correctly from there. You must do it this way the first time you try to print though, if you try to print (using the print command) and it is messed up, then it shows it messed up in the preview. It's not a cure, but works for now until this bug is fixed.'''

  • Should there be a packing slip when returning an Iphone by post? (UK)

    I'm returning a broken iphone by post I've recieved the box and addressed pack, but I'm just wondering if they send a packing slip to return as well? Like so they know the phonne is mine.
    Just scared that I could have not seen it and thrown in the bin by mistake.
    If someone who has done this recently can confirm this it would be great. Dont wan;t my phone getting lost.

    As long as Apple sent you the box, you're good. You should have to just peel off the top layer and it will have the prepaid label for sending it back to Apple. (that's how it works in the USA)
    This is the US FedEx delivery I got. Your phone is associated with the delivery information all over the box.
    Plus, the department it goes to they check all the phones recieved. When Apple recieves your phone, they check the serial number with the list of open cases and then take it to the proper repair department.
