OE.83: Master BOL Document

Note that you can click the button (or press F5) to invoke field help at any time from within the job panel itself.

Business Benefits

Rather than process and then ship each Order individually, it may be advantageous to consolidate a number of Orders, to make your shipping operation more efficient (ie. load several Orders on the same truck). This program allows the consolidation of Orders to achieve this efficiency.

Note: For related documentation and workflows, see OE - Order Entry.
