Printing a Sales Weight Ticket

Purpose

It prints what the sales order currently says, together with the equipment on it.

Who does this

MK outbound staff who need a weight ticket printed for a sales order.

Before you start

  • You have the right account (see Permissions and Access).
  • The record and date you are working on are correct.
  • Words you do not know are in the Glossary.

The one thing to understand

A printed sales weight ticket is not proof that anything was weighed.

It is a printout of the order as it stands. It can print even when no scale ticket exists, because it reads the order and not the weighing record.

If you need proof that goods were physically weighed, that is a different document — see Weighing and Scale Tickets.

Access

Open the outbound order, then the Sales Weight Ticket.

Before you print

  1. Open the order and check the customer, the items and the equipment.
  2. Check the weights and quantities on the order are the ones you expect.
  3. Open the weight ticket and compare every value against the order.
  4. Check the ticket is for the shipment you mean, not another one on the same order.

Printing

  1. Confirm the printer and the destination.
  2. Print.
  3. File the printed copy with the shipment paperwork.
