Packing List Adjustments regarding components

[mash]

Hi guys,

I have do the usual thread searches and could not see one to match this so ..

We have a packing lists product / component layout issue. Majority of our product are single items, over there are others, which are individual items put together to make new products so products with components, and for example our selection packs (Winter Salad Selection, this is made up of 6 varieties (available on their own in a different size), to help with stock I have used them as components of the main product being Winter Salad).

Standard stuff really, however, when it comes to packing, the packing list contains the main product and it's components. The packers, all they need to know is that they are packing a Winter Salad Selection, they know what that contains and they get on and do it. Sometimes less experienced packer would then pack the individual components as well.

To reduce the confusion product / component I wanted to tweak the layout of order.rpt to indent all the components, this would show clearly what are main products and which were components.

Is this possible, I would appreciate any suggestions, thanks Mash

Hi Mash,

You would need to edit the report in crystal reports to do that - you can't do it via the application.

Give me a shout if you want me to do it - I'll work for veggies as usual :-)

I quite often barter actually, I think it's a great system.

It is an excellent method; I used to do some work for Office Supply Company and often got paid in pencils.

Of course you have to be careful, pay in peanuts you may attract monkeys! Unsure if there is similar saying associated with paying in veggies!
