SEOM provides several methods by which orders can be "packed" and "shipped". They each have slight differences which may make one screen a better choice than the other for a given business.
For example, the Pack Orders screen requires the packer to verify the items as they are packed, but it is not able to print a shipping label, whereas, the Pack & Ship screen can do both of those functions. The Pack & Ship screen is also able to display product images to help reduce packing errors. Use system parameter DefaultPackingForm to choose which packing screen the program will use. Refer to Knowledge Base topic, Set System Parameters, for more information.
SEOM is also able to print shipping labels from the Shipping tab of the Process Orders screen on an order by order basis. Packing information is not recorded when a shipping label is printed from this location, however.
If the user does not want to verify the items as they are packed, the program provides the Quick Ship screen as another alternative. At that screen, the packer is not required to verify the correctness of the items placed in the shipping container, thus reducing the time it takes to ship an order. The program assumes that all line items on the order are properly packed. Set system parameter PackingAllowQuickShip to TRUE to use the QuickShip screen. Refer to Knowledge Base topic, Set System Parameters, for instructions.
Generally speaking, the ability to print a shipping label directly from SEOM implies that one of the integrated shipping software solutions, such as UPS Online Tools, Endicia DAZzle or ShipRush for FedEx or UPS has been configured.
