Defining Document Sets
You can group shipping documents and other reports in a set. You can print document sets from the Confirm Shipment window or the Release Sales Orders For Picking window, depending on the option you select in the Usage field. When you select a document set in either the Release Sales Orders For Picking or Confirm Shipment windows, the documents print automatically when you save your actions.
Oracle Order Entry/Shipping provides three predefined document sets: Pick Release Documents for use on the Release Sales Orders window, and All Shipping Documents and Pack Slip Only for use on the Confirm Shipment window.
You can set the OE: Default Shipping Document Set profile option to specify a default value for the Document Set field in the Confirm Shipment window. You can set the OE: Default Picking Document Set profile option to specify a default value for the Document Set field in the Release Sales Orders For Picking window. See: Order Entry/Shipping Profile Options.
