KB20210407/01: Sage 200 Evolution Tip & Trick – How do you print the number of Item units to be confirmed on a Placed Sales Order not yet processed

This Tip & Trick will show you how to print the number of Inventory Item units to be confirmed on a Sales Order that is placed but not yet processed.

To further explain consider the following scenario:

1) Capture a new Sales Order as below and then click the Place Order button.

2) Click Yes on the printing prompt message that is now displayed:

3) Notice below that the above captured Confirm Qty value (10) is not displayed on the Picking Slip below. Instead, it prints 100 units which is the Quantity, and not the Confirm Qty value as entered above.

4) If you now Process the Sales Order,

5) The 10 units captured under Confirm Qty above, is displayed below on the Picking Slip.

But what if you want to rather print the 10 units on the Picking Slip when the Sales Order is placed and not yet Processed?

In this scenario, consider the following:
