Pick List Printing afterhours

I curious how you print the job, or select the jobs, for a picklist.  Priority Dispatch is easier, but job are changing.

You can schedule a report to run and print anytime you like.  You set up a schedule in the task agent and then pick it when you submit the report to run.  The key to having it print though is the user that submitted the job has to be logged into Epicor for it to print.  This is because all printing in E9 is client side.  If the client is not signed in when the report is scheduled to run, the report WILL run at the scheduled time but will not print until the next time they log in.


Many clients set up a user just for this type of reporting.  There is a script you can get from Epicor that will keep the user logged in.

I am pretty sure I know the answer, but is there any way that we can schedule a print job in Epicor.  We are wanting to print some Pick Lists before our shipping department comes in, and have them sitting on the printer when they arrive.  I thought I read a while back that we couldn't but wanted to be sure.


We are on Progress 9.05.702A.


Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
