Picking Tickets in NetSuite

Efficient warehouse operations hinge on clear and accurate picking tickets. In NetSuite, incorporating bin numbers into these tickets is vital for guiding pickers to the correct inventory locations. However, customizing Advanced PDF/HTML templates to display bin numbers can be challenging due to the complexities of NetSuite's data structures and the nuances of its scripting language.

This guide provides a step-by-step approach to adding bin numbers to your picking tickets using NetSuite's Advanced PDF/HTML templates, using an example of a specific use case of one of our customers.

Solution: Adding Bin Numbers to NetSuite PDF Picking Ticket

1. In NetSuite, go to Customization > Forms > Advanced PDF/HTML Templates.
2. Locate the preferred Advanced PDF template on the Advanced PDF/HTML Templates list and click 'Edit'.
3. Toggle to Source Code Mode if not already there.
4. Add the code below in the appropriate columns:

<th align="right" colspan="4">Bin</th>

and

<td align="right" colspan="4">${item.inventorydetail}</td>

This only works if Advanced Bin/Numbered Inventory Management is enabled and Inventory detail HAS to be shown on the form.
