Subject:  Packing List Temporary Files.

Some users needed to create packing lists temporarily without creating Shipping Invoices.  They needed to add further items to this temporary file and then create a Packing List and Shipping Invoice.

This is now available only in creating Packing List from an Order Acknowledgement (OA) file.

1. Issue an Order Acknowledgement.

2. Start Packing List Program

3. Select an the OA file

4. Enter the items that are already packed

5. Select “Tools”, “Save Items Temporarily” from the MENU.

6. Exit Packing List Program without saving.

Once more packing information becomes available:

1. Start Packing List Program

2. Select the same OA file

3. Select “Tools”, “Load Temporarily Saved Items” from the MENU

4. This will retrieve previously packed items.

5. Continue entering newly packed items or edit already entered items

6. You may save this file again temporarily as section 4 above or you may save the Packing List and create a Shipping Invoice.

7. If a Shipping Invoice is created, the Temporary file will be automatically deleted.

The temporary files are not restricted to one file only per system.

Each OA file may have ONE Temporary File.
