Processing Dialog
From the "Outbound Processing" menu, take the option to "Work With Orders". Locate the order you are working with and place the "Print BoL" option next to it. After you press the <Enter> key a background process will be submitted to produce the bill of lading. You can perform other activities on your session while the bill of lading waits in a queue for processing. If this is the initial request for a bill of lading, the status of the order will change to "SB" status, indicating that a bill of lading was submitted for processing. Once processing completes the "SB" status will change to "BL". You may need to press the <F5> key to see this change. If any inventory problems were encountered during processing, the status will change to "EB". The actual format, sequence, and inclusion of master/sub-bill contents are controlled by setup choices. The following depicts a typical Bill of Lading.
At the very top of each of our standard bill formats, a reprint notification and reprint count will appear if this is not the original printing of the bill. This helps control multiple copies of the bill of lading which can lead to duplicated shipments. Also in the upper right is the WDLS bill of lading number, this page number , and the total pages on the bill. These are placed for easy identification and to help ensure that all pages of the bill are present.
The ship to name and address , reference number , and PO number appear in a box in the upper left of the form. To their right are dates , carrier , account name , and freight bill responsibility information. The body of the bill follows for as many pages are are necessary. The totals will appear only on the last page of the bill. At the bottom of each page is the name and address of the party responsible for the freight bill. At the very bottom is the date and time the bill was produced, and the user profile that requested it. These aid in routing the paperwork when several CSR's share the same printer.
