Change the Pick Slip

We have two warehouse I wanted to list both warehouse picks on the one slip – not have to print the individual lips by selecting the working warehouse

There does not seem to be any documentation on [%picking_list

order_id:'[@form:id@]' warehouse_id:'[@form:warehouse_id@]'

I worked out that I can put the list in the template twice

[%picking_list order_id:'[@form:id@]' warehouse_id:'1'

[%picking_list order_id:'[@form:id@]' warehouse_id:'2'

Which displays both blocks of data and pick list for each

warehouse

But then I only wanted to display the block if there was

something to pick for that warehouse

Tried to add

[%param *ifempty%]No items to pick for this warehouse[%/param%]

I also tried to setup a global variable to display the block

only if there were records found for an order

i.e. using https://developers.maropost.com/documentation/neto-designer-documentation/b-se-tag-library/function-tags/orders/show_order/

to somehow set the count of order line items as a global variable to use later but could not do that

Any suggestions

You are correct that there is no documentation on pick slips. @Pranay Shinde knows my strong feelings on the total lack of documentation on key parts of the system. It's been like this for over a decade though so I can't see it getting any better soon.

You are totally on the right track. From what I know about the picking_list tag, your solution seems like a great way to approach it.

All you need is to capture the number of line items for that warehouse on the order.

Keep your two [%picking_list%] tags. Inside each one, look for the [%PARAM *order_header%]. This marks where it starts writing out the order's details like the address. Add this block of code:

[%show_order id:'[@order_id@]'; customer:'[@username@]'; hidechild:'1' warehouse_id:'[@form:warehouse_id@]' %][%PARAM *header%]

[%set [@^order_lines@] = [@total_items@] /%]

[%/PARAM%][%/show_order%]

[%if [@order_lines@] %]

[%/if%]

Shift the entire contents of that order_header param inside the [%if%]. It can be a little tricky to find where that param ends - it should be just about the [%PARAM *order_body%] line.

Try that and see if it's working. You might need the same code block and [%if%] in the order_footer section too. And you might run into problems with extra blank pages. See how you go then we can tackle that.

Thanks for that it worked well for Printing the Pick slip for individual orders

It only displays the Picking info block for the warehouse if stock is to be picked from that warehouse

The problem I have now with this idea is when printing Bulk Picking Slips

from the https://website.com.au/_cpanel/order

Select a group of orders the select the Print option at the bottom

Then it seems to print the [%param *order_header%] for all the orders first

Then prints the [%param *order_body%] for all the orders second

Then print the [%param *order_footer%] for all the orders third

So for now all I can do is revert to the old way for bulk orders

I can't replicate this, I tried the block of code above and it works fine for bulk printing. You'll have to be super careful where it's placed in the code. It's possible you are creating invalid HTML by having a start tag without an end tag or something, That can give the appearance of being out of order when tables are involved.

I'd go back to the original file first. Then add that block in and start by just hiding small parts of the order header. Gradually add more elements until it breaks. You'll have to take it step by step.
