We currently have pre-printed ready-to-ship tags that are attached to each pallet / skid. These are purchased from a printing supplier, and are triplicate carbon copies, with just a sequential number. Two copies stay in house and the last goes to the customer. At the end of production, the packer fills out a ready-to-ship tag and attaches it to each skid. He then takes a copy of the packing slip, and writes down each ready-to-ship number. The packing slip is then scanned to a Sharepoint site. If a customer calls up and has trouble with a pallet, we can search for the packing slip number and find the ready-to-ship tag, and identify any notes etc.
We would like to be able to print out own, and I have purchased a paper that is perforated and divided into thirds. The catch is, the packer doesn't know how many skids a job will take beforehand. My initial thought was a MS Word template with VBA that pulls the job number from the SQL tables, and then have a button the operator clicks that just serially appends a number to the job number, and increments by 1 and prints a label each time he clicks "Print Next" or something.
Before I spend a lot of time developing a custom solution, writing some VBA or something else, does this functionality exist within Vantage?
