Setup - Miscellaneous - Documentation Defaults

This function allows you to designate the number of copies that will be printed for your labels and documentation. This can be helpful if you always need an extra copy of a label or form to give to a customer or a truck driver. You can also choose to send everything directly to the printer, which will bypass the preview mode on your computer screen. This can save a step if you are certain that you don't need to review documentation before printing. In order to make changes to this section, you will need to log into AMS as an administrator.

Inbound Activity

This section is for the container report, which is printed from the Inbound menu. You may choose from the following options:

• Include Line Items on Container Report – This allows you to have lineitems listed on your container report. Check this box if you want to include lineitems.

Dispatch Printing

This section is for tally sheets, which are printed from the Dispatch menu. You may choose from the following options:

• Send directly to printer - Check this box if you want your tally sheets to go directly to your selected printer. This can save time if you don't need to preview tally sheets before printing.
• Tally Sheet Copies – Change the number of copies if you need more than one tally sheet each time you print. You may print up to 5 copies at a time.
• Include Tally Sheet Line Items – This allows you to have lineitems listed on your tally sheet. In many cases, customers are only looking for the TCN numbers, but if you have customers that like to see the lineitems listed on their tally sheet, then you may check this box. Please note that if you have a large number of items on a tally sheet, this will increase the number of pages printed.

This section is for shipping documentation and labels, such as MSLs and TCMDs. You may choose from the following options:
