There are four types of documents you can print from your Sales Orders list in Autodesk Fusion Operations. This article will explain what they are, how to print them, and what information they can contain.
To print documents from a ‘Sales Order’ you can go to ‘Sales Order’ -> Select one or multiple Sales Orders (via bulk action) -> Press “Print Documents” at the top.
The 4 types of documents you can print are presented in the pop-up image below:
What can you find in each document?
1. Shipping Labels/Bill of Lading:
When integrated with a service like ‘Shopify’ or ‘Wayfair,’ you can print Shipping Labels; they are an identification label that helps describe and specify what’s inside the delivery package. You can select your carrier (like FedEx or UPS), and the shipping label will be printed for that carrier.
In case you're not integrated with any service, you can also print the Bill of Lading where you will find Bill of Lading and Sales Order number, current date, shipment details (product code, quantity and weight) and signatures table. Note that this will only include items that have already been shipped in the Sales Order.
Below follows a list of possible customizations for this document:
On the top:
Company Logo: can be added on Settings > General > Logo
On the Header:
Ship from: is the Company Address, to add this information reach out to us
Ship to: is the Shipping Delivery Address, that can be defined on the sales order shipping
Pallets: when doing the shipping process, you can define a pallet for the products. If you don't have any, create it here. Beware that the Shipping Package Type must have the setting "Usable on shipping movements" enabled.
Shipment details:
Weight and its UoM: it's a product field, go to Products > Unit of Measurement and define both.
Variable parameters: If the product being shipped has parameters defined in the sales order they will appear after the product code.
2. Packing Slip:
A packing slip is a document that includes the complete list of items (code and name) included in a package/sales order, the shipping date and the quantity shipped. This will only include items that have already been shipped in this Sales Order.
