Question marks are used as wild cards; i.e., entry of the first two route characters and a question mark displays all routes beginning with those two characters. F2 allows a search.

If the Include prompt is not "S" for sales orders or "B" for both, the Route prompt will be disabled. Of course the existing check for Use Routes from the SO Static will be maintained.

The program defaults to N-documents that have not been printed.

For Job stream processing, if the system can’t access the pick ticket printer , the system logs the errors, and skips the pick ticket print.
