Sales Order Packing Slip Unique Number

Is there a way to have QB generate a unique number for Packing Slips like it does for Sale Orders, Invoices, Credit Memos, Purchase Orders, ect..? Since we ship multiple shipments on a Sale Order it would be nice to have this function.

Hi there, C-Intec.

 

The number of packing slips that QuickBooks generates depends on the last packing slip number entered. In addition, if the Automatically Recall Information is enabled, QuickBooks will pre-fill transactions based on the previous entries. In the meantime, if you'd like a unique number for packing slips, you can manually enter them into the system.

 

We recognize that each company has unique needs, and I know how the feature you're looking for would benefit and empower your business. I'd recommend submitting your feedback to help improve the program by going to the Send Feedback Online feature in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

You can also visit this page or the What's New section on your QuickBooks Desktop to get updates on our latest news about product improvements.

 

If you'd want to customize your form styles in the future, you can check this article for a guide: Use and customize form templates.

 

Let me know if you have other concerns while managing QuickBooks. I'll get back to you right away. Have a great day.

Sales Order Packing Slip Unique Number

Thank you for the reply MirriamM, how do we get QuickBooks to generate Packing Slip numbers? Currently even when I go to customize the template there is no spot to turn on Packing Slip numbers. I've attached a sample of what our pack slips look like. Currently we are using the Sales Order number at the top, but that means we have to break the S.O. out into shipments, which gets cumbersome.
