OK, the workaround above to create a custom sales receipt form almost solves the problem...please implement the following features:

1.  In the custom sales receipt form Content:Footer editor, provide a check box to disable  and remove all the financials from the form.   My customers do not want the receiving department to know what the prices are of the products arriving at their docks.   IOW, a packing slip is NOT the same as an invoice.  They serve a different function, namely reconciling quantity of goods delivered against individual line items on a purchase order.  Receiving departments only get access to the item information, not the pricing information.  

2. Relatedly, add the ability to place multiple custom fields in the Content:Table editor.   I need the ability to input information about the number of cartons associated with each line item quantity, e.g. Box 1 of 3 or other information like this, which can only be determined at the time of shipping to my customer for each line item.    Ideally, I'd like to get to a result like the excerpt from my present Packing Slip that is the result of custom code I had implemented from my company.
