Bill of Lading Print (SOP330)

Using Reports

This program prints and reprints bills of lading (BOLs) on demand. The BOL must comply with the rules determined by the DOT for transporting hazardous materials. For more information on hazardous materials and regulations, please refer to the DOT’s Hazardous Materials Guide.

BOL print properties are determined in the SO Document Print Control F/M, including whether the form is pre-printed, whether to print hazardous materials only, and whether to print item weights.

If you are printing BOLs for sales orders, transfer tickets or current invoices, all BOLs that are ready to print will do so through this program. If you are printing BOLs for past invoices, you have to specify which past invoice that you want to print.
