Does anyone know where the mask for the Misc and Subcon packslips are set. I can see the Customer one in Company Config > Sales > Order > Shipping but for the life if me cannot find the other two?
Do you mean the report styles?
Hi Andy,
No, where you actually set where the pack slip number starts from. I can see where the main Customer Shipment one is set in Company Config but cannot see the others?

I had poked around last week and couldn’t find one. I did find a description somewhere that the system just looks for the last used number and indexes for the new slip.
I tried (probably the same things you’ve already attempted) entering a much higher number when creating it (to see if I could manually set it) and it didn’t work. It said “Record Not Found. Would you like to create it?” But it then just defaulted back to the next sequence number.
I did see Misc. shipments and Subcon. Shipments have independent indexes.
So, I also tried to DMT against the Miscellaneous Shipment Header table to inject a record with a higher PackID (500 in this case)… the DMT accepted it:
But when I went into the system, I saw it had again, just reverted back to the next sequence number:
I think the problem is that there is no database column that stores the beginning sequence. It always looks at the last used number and indexes for the new added shipment.
I don’t know if there’s an easy way to get around this one. I don’t know if you could create a BPM that would set that PackID number on an added header record? Use it once to set your new starting point and then turn it off? A little over my head.
Yeah you have tried things similar to what i have. Its a strange one that is sure!
