Introduction
Prestashop has another interesting
module which helps to easily generate and send emails of a picking list in PDF format once a new order is
created. A Picking list (also referred as a picking slip) is used in a warehouse, where ordered transactions are
processed, to pick ordered items. Automatic Email Manager receives
this picking list by email and prints it directly to the allocated printers of your choice.
This module is responsible for:
- Automatically sending generated picking list PDF’s to one more assigned email addresses at the time of order creation
- Display barcode of order number on PDF
- Display product images, warehouse location
- Many options for printing like size, date range
