Invoice Setup - Item Locations tab

Invoice item locations provide a method of printing multiple invoices/pick slips by location for the Advanced Inventory Control module only. You need to set up a Slip Name for each location code group you wish to print separately then in Locations specify the location codes that are to be included in each group (you can use wild cards such as ' * ').
Once a Slip Name and Location are defined, click [Edit Slip] and in the Location Slip Form <NAME.btr> window) click [OK] to create a default pick list form that prints automatically for the warehouse staff. To create and print additional pick slips for customers requires that you design a specific pick slip form that includes the columns "Pick Quantity" and "Location" (on the Items tab) and has the Print Pick List items only check box option checked (on the Options tab) in the Invoice Designer. You can also create the new form on the Form Names tab.

Example

Click and drag the '?' on the Form Names tab under Account Receivable. Now you click and drag each of the Slip Names on this tab to the invoice tree. Next on the Form Names tab include the pick slip form under each Slip Name and finally on the Printers tab, include the correct printer for each location.

This setup means the clerk is asked which location to print based on how many pick locations were included on the invoice. Then both a warehouse pick list form and a customer pick list form are printed at each location's printer for all locations the clerk selects.
Selecting a location at POS is optional. You can also chose to print the warehouse pick list form at the warehouse location but the customer pick list form at POS.

The Item Locations tab is shown in Figure 1.

[Edit Slip]

Click the button to open the Location Slip Form <NAME.btr> window and then click [OK] to create a default warehouse pick list form that prints automatically at the associated printer. Additionally you can edit the location slip form definition from the defaults. At least one Slip Name and associated Location definition must exist before clicking the button opens the window.

Locations

Type a portion of the location code that is common for the entire group followed by a wildcard. For example 1* includes all locations that begin with the number 1. Location codes are created via the Multi-Location Maintenance command.
