Understanding Document Printing Program Setup

You set up document printing programs to associate a program and version with each type of delivery document that you must print. For example, you can specify that the system use the Transportation Bill of Lading Build program (R49110) to print bills of lading. If you have created a particular version of a program to meet specific business requirements, you can indicate the version number that corresponds to the custom version.

You also define the document codes that correspond to the delivery documents that the organization uses. For example, you might define the code for bills of lading as BOL.

This list identifies common document codes and the documents to which they refer:

Code	Documents
BOL1	Transportation Bill of Lading Build (R49110). You typically use this program to print bills of lading. The default version is ZJDE0001.
BOL2	Demand Scheduling Bill of Lading (R49110). You typically use this program to print bills of lading. The default version is ZJDE0002.
MBL	Master Bill of Lading Print (R49137). You typically use this program to print master bills of lading. The default version is ZJDE0002.
INV1	Print Invoices (R42565). You typically use this program to print invoices. The default version is ZJDE0001.
MAN1	Shipment Manifest Print (R49135). You typically use this program to print manifests. The default version is ZJDE0001.
PKL	Packing List Print (R49141P). You typically use this program to print packing lists. The default version is ZJDE0001.

You can also specify whether the document that is associated with a code is a primary delivery document, a primary invoice document, or both. In addition, you can specify the level of the document, such as whether the document is a load-level, line-level, or shipment-level document.

You can indicate whether you want the system to perform a freight update whenever it prints a particular type of delivery document. Consolidating batch programming can reduce time and effort.
