How to Print Custom Column Fields on NetSuite Packing Slips and Other Fulfillment Forms
Display custom column fields on NetSuite packing slips, picking tickets, and return forms by creating and configuring a custom Transaction Column Field.
Short answer
To print custom fields in the columns of NetSuite packing slips, picking tickets, or return forms, create a custom Transaction Column Field. Unlike other forms, these fulfillment-related documents do not use the 'Printed Fields' subtab. Ensure the custom field's 'Applies To' subtab is correctly configured for the desired transaction types.
Scenario
Users often need to display custom data in the column sections of printed forms such as packing slips, picking tickets, and return forms. While standard forms typically allow customization via a 'Printed Fields' subtab, this option is not available for fulfillment-related transactions like packing slips. This difference can lead to confusion when attempting to add custom column fields to these specific documents.
Solution
To add custom fields to the columns of NetSuite packing slips, picking tickets, or return forms, follow these steps:
Create a custom field of type 'Transaction Column Field'. This is done by navigating to Customization > Lists, Records, & Fields > Transaction Column Fields > New.
On the custom Transaction Column Field record, define the necessary field properties (e.g., Label, ID, Type).
Navigate to the 'Applies To' subtab within the custom field record.
Check the appropriate checkboxes for the specific forms where the custom field should be displayed, including options such as 'Picking Ticket', 'Packing Slip', and 'Return Form'. This approach ensures that custom Transaction Column Fields can be successfully printed on standard forms, picking tickets, packing slips, and return forms, bypassing the limitation of the missing 'Printed Fields' subtab on fulfillment forms.
