How to print Document Comments on the SOP Blank Picking Ticket Word Templates

This applies to the following Word Templates:

SOP Blank Picking Ticket Order Entered

SOP Blank Picking Ticket Bin Sequenced

Ever notice the document comments do not appear when printing the SOP Picking Ticket Word templates? They will print on the Standard report, but not the Word Template. This is because the Picking Ticket reports do not have a Report Footer section. The Template utilizes the Report Footer section to print data.

To get around this, you need to add the Report Footer section to the Report Writer report, then move the document comments into the Report Footer. Next, update the XML on your Word template and re-add the fields pulling from the ReportFooter section I the Field List. See detailed steps below:

1. Open the SOP Blank Picking Ticket Order Entered report in Report Writer.
2. In the Report Definition window, click Layout.
3. Select Tools from the top toolbar.
4. Click Section Options.
5. Mark the Report Footer Check box.
   
6. Click OK.
7. Expand the Report Footer section to size 48.
8. Select the Document Comments(1) field.
9. Hit Ctrl and hold it down while selecting Document Comments(2), Document Comments(3) and Document Comments(4). All 4 fields should be selected.
10. Drag the fields from the Page Footer, into the Report Footer. (See Figure A)
    
11. Save the report and close out of Report Writer.
12. Next, update the XML source on your template:
    1. Get to the point where you can print the picking ticket report.
