The Order Manager has two systems for packing orders: Pack and Ship and Packing Only.
The Pack and Ship system works with a barcode scanner to verify each item as it is packed for shipping and prints UPS, Federal Express, U.S. Postal Service, and DHL shipping labels. For more information see Pack and Ship.
To select this system go to Maintenance Menu> Set System Parameters. Select the Packing parameter group and the Packing Form parameter. Select Pack & Ship and click Save.
This is the original packing system that works with a barcode scanner to verify each item as it is packed for shipping, and does not print shipping labels.
To select this system go to Maintenance Menu> Set System Parameters. Select the Packing parameter group and the Packing Form parameter. Select Packing Only and click Save.
The Order Manager includes hundreds of "System Parameters" that can be used to configure the program the way you want it to work. Be sure to review the Packing Parameter Group to configure your Packing & Ship or Packing Only system.
Below are just a few of the relevant parameters in the Packing group. Go to Maintenance Menu> Set System Parameters> Parameter Group> Packing to review the complete group.
