Printing

This page is outdated. Please go to our new documentation under https://docs.fulfillmenttools.com/documentation.

General

Users can decide which documents should be added to the picking and/or packing process.

The printing section consists of several printing tabs:

• Shipping labels

• Return labels

• Delivery note

• Return note

• External documents

A delivery and return note contains articles of the corresponding picking task and carry additional information about the picked amount of each article. Both documents can be created on demand in the app.

External documents are documents which are not created within the fulfillmenttools system, such as invoices or individual coupons which are created in external systems. Those documents can be easily integrated into our printing process, so that a picker is able to print external documents within the fulfillment process with our app.

If the user decides to pick the task first she has the option to directly order a label for this task at the end of picking. While requesting a label, a return-label is requested as well which is then attached to the normal label (see: Returns)

In order to create shipping or return labels, a carrier connection is required.

Prioritization of address types

When using different address types within an order, the following prioritization will be used for the address on the return note:

1. INVOICE_ADDRESS

2. POSTAL_ADDRESS

If neither is available, an error message will be returned.

For the delivery note, the the following prioritization will be used:

1. PARCEL_LOCKER

2. POSTAL_ADDRESS

3. INVOICE_ADDRESS

Examples

Example 1: A shipping label should be printed in the picking process

Configure the “SENDLABEL” in the pick job. The picker can now start the pickjob, click on the print button, print the label and do the following process steps.

Example 2: A delivery note should be printed in the packing process

Configure the “DELIVERYNOTE” in the pack job. Then it is only shown when clicking the print button in the pack job / packing process.

Special configuration: It is up to the user, if the same documents should be used for each pickjob / packjob or if the configuration should be more more detailed using via tags. Tags can be helpful to handle pickjobs and packjobs differently. For example, marketplace orders may need other documents than orders from the company's own store.

When Batch Picking is activated, printing within the picking process is not possible
