Shipping
In this section, you will find settings that apply to shipping.
Pre-filled packaging on package rows?
If you configure this setting, the registered Package type will be filled in by default in the Print Shipping Documents procedure in the Sales module. You register package types in the Update Part procedure. The part type Packaging must be selected.
Always delete zero-package rows?
This setting allows you to always delete the package rows with no quantity in them (zero) when you save in the Print Shipping Documents procedure. By default, this setting is always checked.
Default package type
This applies to the part type G (Packaging). If no Package type has been entered for a G-part (packaging part), the package type entered here will be shown by default on the package rows for a packaging part during shipping document printout.
Default type of goods
This applies to all part types except part type G (Packaging). If no Type of Goods (goods type) has been entered for an M-part, P-part, S-part or F-part, the type of goods that is entered here will be shown by default on the package rows for the part during shipping document printout.
Print receipt for shipping documents
If you select this option a separate receipt list will be printed, after the shipment printout using the Print Shipping Documents procedure, containing a list of the shipment that was previously printed. The list is the same as the one that can be printed in the Shipment List procedure, list type Receipt.
Type of address label
Here you can select a printer for printing address labels in the Print Shipping Documents procedure. The available alternatives are:
- Label printer - select this alternative when you use a special Zebra printer for printing address labels. The type of Zebra printer that will be used is selected using the setting called Type of shipping document printer.
- Laser printer A4 - select this alternative when you use a laser printer to print address labels on A4 size paper. It will print two address labels per A4 page.
- Laser printer A5 - select this alternative when you use a laser printer to print address labels on A5 size paper. It will print one address label per A5 page. In this case, you can also use A4 paper, but the printer still only prints one address label per page.
If laser printer A4 or A5 has been selected for printing of address label that printer can be added in the Printers procedure and then be selected in the Special 2 field, for affected users in the Users procedure. That printer will then become the default alternative when those users will print address labels.
Type of shipping document printer
Here you select whether or not a specific label printer should be used.
- No label printout if you do not use a special label printer.
- Zebra PilotPROM V 3.1X* if you are using a Zebra S500 (it has a PilotPROM installed).
- Zebra SoftPROM V 4.0* if you are using a Zebra S600 (it has a programmed flash memory called SoftPROM installed).
- Zebra SoftPROM V 4.0 (STE)* is used when applying the old STE standard (only for Företagspaket). This layout has been pre-programmed into the printer's memory as a factory setting. The printers can be of the older type Zebra S500 or S600.
- Zebra STE (PSI) (selected by default) is the standard today and is used when applying the STE standard (PostNord, DHL Freight, DSV Road, and DB Schenker). System requirements for label printers and models that have been tested can be found on our website. Please see http://www.monitorerp.com/products/monitorerp/systemrecommendations. Label layouts are included in MONITOR.
In the Print Shipping Documents in the Sales module there is a button called Zebra control panel. This control panel allows you to see information about the ports and PROMS that have been selected here, as well as print the Zebra configuration, built-in layouts and SoftPROM.
If you have chosen another label printer than the default Zebra STE (PSI) or if No label printout is selected, the shipping documents Bilpaket and ASG Exact are available in the Print Shipping Documents procedure in the Sales module. No additional services will then be selectable for the shipping documents. In the Zebra control panel you also transfer the new layouts from MONITOR to the printer's memory.
When a label printer is used to print transport labels (delivery address labels) to PostNord, DHL Freight, DSV Road, and DB Schenker, then the computer where the printer is installed should use the Windows driver "Generic / Text Only".
Warn if attempting to save without a shipping agent?
This parameter configures if a warning should appear when you click on Save during Print Shipping Documents if no shipping agent has been selected for a new shipment. However, it is possible to save a shipment without a shipping agent.
Shipment status after printout
Here you can choose which status should be set for a shipment after it has been printed in the Print Shipping Documents procedure.
If you are using rolling number series for SIS Waybill or Posten Företagspaket, you must purge old shipments before the number series ends. The system will check this during printout of shipping documents, and will suggest a purging if there are less than 100 numbers left. If the shipments have status 3-8, then a question will appear when purging to see whether these shipments should be purged as well. In order to avoid this question, you can configure this setting to 9.

Interval in seconds between printouts to Zebra printer
Here you can configure an interval (pause) between each printout that is sent to a Zebra printer, when you print several labels at the same time. The purpose is to give each user enough time to tear off each label before the next one is printed out.

In the Customer List and Supplier List procedures, there is a list type called Shipping that allows you to see and update the Destination, Pallet registration number, Delivery date and Transport time.

Additional text rows, if any, are not affected by this setting.

With this setting you can decide which of these package types that should be available in the Package type field under the Basic data tab in the Print Shipping Documents procedure. The following alternatives are available:
- All
- Only system's
- Only own
Please note! If you want to use own package types in the Print Shipping Documents procedure it is important that the own package type codes coincide with the codes at the shipping agent. The codes determine which type of transport vehicle the shipping agent will use and in some cases also the freight costs.

If you check this setting today's date will be printed in the field for printout date on the SIS Waybill.
