Separate huge picklists into separate PDFs
Hello All,
Is there a way to separate huge picklists into separate PDF's?
What is happening is if we try to print a picklist of about 500
orders . the list was too big for OFBiz to print. So for picklists over 150
orders do we have auto split functionality for the PDF's?
I did set the default value of "Pick first" field to 150 on the
Picking Options page. But if a value more than 150 is entered can we auto
split the PDF's?
Thanks,
Nikita

Soon I will also be working on something similar... namely a bulk
picklist creation service that examines the orders ready to pick and
creates as many picklists as are necessary, where each picklist
contains at most the "pick first" quantity.

I don't have any suggestions at this moment, but in a week or so we will
be attempting something similar.
In our case we need to print 1-2000 packing lists at a time, with a
picklist type report that tells the pickers how many boxes with the same
contents to prepare for packing. I say picklist type report, because our
client ships large volumes of packages with identical contents each day
- so the requirement is to produce a summary report that says" prepare
500 boxes with Prdocut A, 200 with Product B, 150 boxes with Product A
and Product B etc. Pickers perpare the boxes, then walk down the line
dropping in the packing list/invoice document
A bit different, but we'll be facing the same issues you report, so I am
very interested in any ideas anyone has.
I'll reply to this as we work on our solution
