The Build Shipment (EI56) program maintains variable information in order to produce Bills of Lading and/or Shipping Labels for the 'Bill Number' entered in the Header Section.

  • You can run this program as often as required, following printing Print Shipping Document (OE34) and prior to processing the Sales Order/Invoice through Schedule Invoices/Credits (IN43).

  • This program prints a Bill of Lading (BOL) for the Sales Orders selected on the printer identified by Assign BOL and Label Printers (OE01). Variable information is entered (such as # of cartons, weight, description of articles, carrier's no., etc), and upon completion, the Bill of Lading is automatically printed (IF a printer is identified in program OE01).

  • The BOL number is assigned by the system and includes a prefix character that is user defined in Maintain Sales Office/Warehouse Numbers (CC96). An existing BOL may be recalled for reprint. Limited modification is allowed after the Sales Order has been Invoiced (update of Carrier, Ship Via, etc.)

  • You can also also print Shipping Labels. Labels are printed on the printer defined in OE01.

  • You can also print MH-10 Labels by selecting MH-10 Carton Labels.

  • You can reprint Labels by recalling the BOL and then selecting Print BOL and Labels.

  • You can print "Manual" labels (labels for which no Bill of Lading was produced) by selecting the Print Labels option.

  • Bill of Lading details remain on file until the associated Invoice is deleted from Display Invoices from History (IN45).

  • Carton details MUST be entered in Build Carton Contents (EI53) before adding Sales Orders to the BOL.
