It depends how you use them. We have two different T6SOC4s, printed using SO-C. When orders are entered the lines are not released, and a
Pick List is printed for every order; with the order amount, and fill-in spaces for Shipped and BackOrdered; and sent to shipping.
Once the order has been picked and packed (anywhere from the same day to a month later) the Pick List is sent back to the office. The Sales Orders are released and then we print
Packing Lists, answering the questions so that the Original, Actual, and Backorder amounts for all released lines are printed. This is what is sent to the customer. This allows us to mark up the Pick List any way we want because the customer isn't going to see it, and what they do get looks more professional, because everything on it is printed.
We use the same procedure whether the order is from stock or make-to-stock.
