Manufacturing > Work Order Transactions

The Print Routing Slip function allows you to print a routing slip document for a single, all or a range of work orders. A routing slip provides information on the manufacturing instructions, raw materials quantities, labor resource, and machine time needed to manufacture an inventory item. You can print routing slips for jobs that are yet to be posted to work-in-process.

Note: You may define other printing options for your routing slips in the Printing page of the MA Module Setup function.
