[Menu-Override]
XCP02S2D=XCP02S2D,CP02P2_MSC

[Menu-Override-Description]
CP02P2_MSC=MSC Packing List
XCP02S2D=Legacy DYO Packing List

When running the packing list, the MSC option will be available in addition to the Legacy DYO Packing List option. Choose the MSC Packing List option when printing packing lists with the MSC format.


This will bring up the report parameter screen.


Customer Number: Enter the MSC customer number. A PowerSearch for the customer number is available if PowerSearch is enabled. This field can be set to default to the correct customer number when this application is run.

Order Number: Enter the order number range or press Enter for all orders.

Location: Enter the warehouse location. This entry is required. A PowerSearch for the location is available if PowerSearch is enabled. This field can be set to default to a specific warehouse location when this application is run.

Ship Date: The options are Date Billed, Date Picked, and System Date. If the Ship Date is set to “B” and the order has not been billed, the packing list for the order will not print until it has been billed. Once it has been billed, the billing date will print in the Ship Date field. If the Ship Date is set to “P” and the order has not been picked, the packing list for the order will not print until a picking ticket has been printed. Once it has been picked, the pick ticket date will print in the Ship Date field on the packing list. If the ship date is set to "S," the system will print the system date as the ship date on the packing list.


To set up a default for the Report Parameter screen, enter the default values for the customer number, location, and ship date, and click on the Save button.



This will allow you to save the report options so that they can be used as the default values.

  • Save Output Options with this template: If you select this, then the printing destination -- including printers, screen, disk, and emails -- will be saved as part of the template. As a result, when you choose to use this template in the future, not only will the input values be defaulted, but also the printing destination(s) will be defaulted to these values.
  • Make this template my default template: If you select this option, then the input value -- in this example, Customer Number "GRS600", Location "CA" and Ship Date "B" -- will be used as the default in the future when you run it. If you don't want this in the future, you can delete the saved template in the "Use" tab.
  • Make this template available to all users:  If you have authority to modify reports, this checkbox will be visible and checking it will create a template that will appear in the Use list for all users.

The resulting output will be formatted according the MSC standard layout.
