AND AND PICK PICK TICKETS
TICKETS
The Report Writer application allows you to specify special text lines for invoices and pick tickets. When
you create a report format for pick tickets or invoices through the (+Z) Setup Formats For Reports screen,
you can assign special line numbers indicating that a particular type of message should print on the report.
These line numbers (74-99) are valid only for reports that are printed through the (G) Order Entry screen or
the (TR) O/E Reports screen.
Specifying these line numbers on a statement format will assure that the special information will be printed.
You can also determine where the message will print on the report. For details on determining line placement
on your report, refer to Chapter Chapter 3: 3: Creating Creating And And Changing Changing Formats Formats. Formats
Table G-1, below, lists each of the line numbers available for customizing invoices and pick tickets, along with
the messages corresponding to each.

Invoice Promo Message: This line prints on orders for which line numbers 95-97 do not apply.
Refer to the notes below.
Notes: Notes: Of lines 95 -99, only one will print, and it will print on the line following details, weight,
ZZZZ, and hold messages., but before any format totals lines (41-55). You need to place
the appropriate promo message fields from the P-PROMO file on the format placement
line. Often a subtotal or total from the P-TOTALS file will also be formatted on a promo line.
Lines 93-98 will always print after format detail lines (26-35) and before format total lines
(41-55). Field selections from the P-TOTALS file can be placed on these lines (93-98),
or can be placed on format totals lines (41-55) which will print after the message lines.
The END message is selected for placement on a line from the P-TOTALS file. For
example, the DDMS standard 4I invoice format has the END message on format line
number 41, which also has the discount amount of the invoice subtotals/totals.
Generally, format subtotal lines (36-40) are not used on pick tickets and invoices. Trailers
can be used to print text literals after all totals have printed.
Invoices are tickets of status 8 or greater and are printed from the (G) screen, or are any
tickets printed when you select the [B] Invoices function through the (TR) Order Entry
Reports screen.
