How do I print a packing slip that also communicates what request items were not fulfilled?
Last Updated: June 2024
When inventory is requested that doesn’t always mean that it will be fulfilled. Sometimes inventory is not available or demand is considered unwarranted, resulting in a partial fulfillment when some inventory items are transferred to the requestor but not everything they asked for.
In these instances it might be a good idea to let the recipient know that they aren’t receiving everything that they requested, and we have just the thing to help you: a packing slip including the items from the shipment and the items that were not fulfilled from the request.
-
First you’ll have to mark which items have not been fulfilled. Learn more about how to do this here.
-
Once you’ve marked your unfulfilled or partially fulfilled items, navigate to the transfer in question in Beacon and click into its detail screen.
-
Scroll down to the Export Packing slip button.
-
Select the option for “Include partial or not shipped items”.
-
The resulting packing slip will include a section for the items that were not fulfilled.
-
The packing slip will display the items marked as not shipped/partially fulfilled at the time that the PDF is generated. If the shipped items are updated at a later date and the PDF is regenerated, it will display updated data.
