Invoice / Packing List modification (42)

Completed

Provide the ability to modify the packing list and Invoice as part of the standard feature set within the Americommerce system. Every business has specific information they wish to include or exclude with their shipments that is relevant to both the buyer, receiver of the package, and the shipper. Specifically I would like to see the ability to ad the buyers name on the packing slip. Currently only the buyers email is included and shipper address is different. If a gift message is not left, makes it difficult for the receiver to know who sent them the package if they don't recognize the email address.

This was completed in 2012.1+ and part of the new drag and drop theme system.

Thanks Dan, all of the fundamentals for this is there and we are missing one key piece that will allow us to open up custom layouts on this page (like we do for product, category and similar pages). This would be a great devshare development if we could get some support for it. I know others have mentioned this in the past as well.

Count me in on this. I need to customize the Gift Message/Customer Comment with font & font size to make the message really stand out. It would save me having to add a special Gift Card to an order.

not only does it need to be able to update the buyers name, the invoice template reads order number and small print has this is your receipt. If the invoice is paid that the small print caption is good; however, if you are using net 30 or other forms of custom payment, this should not read receipt. It should say invoice. This is important to be able to add information to the invoice but not mandatory point and click. Make this a voluntary option. Also after order is saved make it more friendly by a pop print packslip/ invoice. This would save a few keyboard movements

We need the ability to change which information shows up in the columns of the invoice. For example, we need to see the short description for the item ordered instead of the upc number. Right now when a sunglass is ordered, we have to look up the upc number to determine which color was ordered. We'd save a ton of time processing orders if we could see the colorway on the invoice.

According to AC, this does not allow modification of the packing list.

We're not sure what may be missing, as of v2012.1 invoice and packing slip are one theme page but they do support custom layout. and you can make alternate layouts for the packing slip to look totally different, or have different versions of an invoice look. Perhaps it’s that we don’t currently give you any way to switch the layout when printing an invoice vs a packing list, since we currently just show or hide certain fields? Or are you not seeing this at all, in which case maybe your site has not been upgraded as yet?

Edward, thank you for your post. We tried editing the packing slip and were unable to edit the HTML or add any widgets. You can review more information in our support ticket ACS28034. Perhaps this is simply a function of complete documentation on how to accomplish the task. Thanks for your concern.

Hi, so is this completed or not? I too cannot find a way to add the billing information to the packing slip. There are many instances my customers send gifts, but do not include a message and the recipient doesn't know who sent the package. It sure would save us a lot of time from having to look up the billing information to reply to the the recipient of the package. I do not want to include an invoice because I many times it is requested that prices aren't included. Any help would be appreciated.

Brett, You can add billing info to your packing slip. In your V2 theme editor, open up the Specialty Pages option and choose Packing Slip. If you go to the HTML Editor under this page, it allows you to customize the content of the packing slip. Any merge code that works on the Invoice should work on the packing slip, so you can add things such as: $$ORDERNUMBER$$ $$ORDERDATE$$ Customer Email: $$EMAIL$$ $$BILLINGADDRESS$$ etc. Hope this helps!
