Prerequisite

Overview
Step 1: Enable printers
Not all printers are expected to be relevant for warehouse users when printing from Mobile WMS.
You will need to select which printers to enable for Report Print.
Go to "Mobile Report Print Setup" and click "Printers"
Use the drop-down menu in the Printer Name to add a printer. If this list is empty, you will need to set up a Printer Connector and add printers first - see Prerequisites.
Location Filter (optional)
The printer will only be available when handling Orders for locations within this filter.
Packing Station Filter (optional)
The printer will only be available when handling Ordes in Pack & Ship for Packing Stations within this filter. Make sure to allow for a blank Packing Station, if the printer should still be available for processes other than Pack & Ship.
Step 2: Enable reports
To enable printing of a report for a warehouse employee using a mobile device, you will need to add the report to the list of Mobile Reports. You can open the list from the Mobile Report Print Setup window
Go to "Mobile Report Print Setup" and click "Reports"
Click "Insert all Mobile WMS Reports"
This will insert all reports included in Mobile WMS and all their built-in layouts. For each report, the default layout is enabled
Enable / Disable label sizes
Determine which of the label sizes are supported by the printers and disable the unused
Step 3 (optional): Limit available printers for a report
For each report (report layout) you can assign which printers should be available by clicking "Printers". This will ensure that only valid printers are suggested when printing from the mobile device (e.g. printers with a specific label size when printing a specific label layout).
All Mobile Printers will be available if no printer(s) is assigned a given mobile report.
Go to "Mobile Report Print Setup" / "Reports" and click "Printers"
Add the appropriate printer(s)
The Location Filter and Packing Station Filter are from the Mobile Printer setup and cannot be edited here (it is to be specified in the Mobile Printers window instead). They are displayed here as guidance to ensure printers were added to support all desired locations and packing stations.
Step 4 (optional): Printing custom layouts
If you need a label size not provided, you can create your own layout by copying an existing layouts and adjusting it. Link
The new layout can then be added and enabled in the list of Mobile Reports.
Step 5 (optional): Printing other/custom reports
Custom reports can be added to Mobile Reports, if you make a requestpage handler that supports the report
The request page handler sends parameters to the report to ensure it can be executed with no UI (i.e. from a mobile device).
You will therefore often need to add a custom requestpage handler to print other reports than those provided by Mobile WMS. For more information: Print Label (Report Print)
Step 6 (optional): Set up "Print Shipment on Post" feature
Any posting action from mobile, resulting in a Posted Shipment will be printing the posted documents:
This includes shipping using Pack & Ship and Tote- Picking & Shipping
Warehouse Posted Shipment
Sales Shipment
Purchase Return Shipment
Transfer Shipment
Step 1: Enable the feature
Go to "Mobile Report Print Setup" and check "Print Shipment on Post".
Step 2: Set up "Printer Selections"
The printers used for Posted Shipment must be specified in the standard "Printer Selections".
These printers are not required to be Mobile Printers.
Go to "Printer Selections"
Set up the printer for all the shipment reports (for either all or selected users)
Note: Shipments cannot be routed to a specific printer based on “Location Code” or “Packing Station Code”
This is a result of selection being determined solely by the standard “Printer Selection”.
Step 3: Verify "Report Selections"
Make sure “Report Selection - Sales” and usage “Shipment” points to report 208 - Sales Shipment.
Note: If shipment reports have been replaced using Report Selections or Report Substitutions you must consider this during setup of Printer Selections.
