How to Print a Preview Ticket

How to Print a Preview Ticket
  1. When you get to the Summary Screen, click the Invoice Total label at the bottom of the screen.


  2. Once the Preview Screen opens, click Pick List to print a Pick List or click Print to print a Preview Ticket. Note - if a Pick List is needed it must be printed before printing Preview Ticket.

**If you print the Preview Ticket, it saves those sales/rotates/adjustments for that dealer. If you need to make a change to that ticket you will need to use the aggregate function to either add sales or do a buy back. If the ticket needs to be voided that will have to be done in Jericho.

Temporary Solution

TEMPORARY SOLUTION:

  • To help alleviate some of the “Out Of Memory” issues we recommend the RSM’s use the RMS (Cell phone icon) application when running their route instead of going into RMS II and selecting “Tickets”.

  • Using the RMS application will:

o Open the application faster if reboot required.

o Cut back on some of the memory being used by the RMS II application.

IOException Error when printing Truck Load or Unload

When trying to print a truck load/unload you might encounter an error that looks like this:

*This error message is caused by too many truck load and unload reports being saved to the storage card. Clearing out old reports only occurs when reprint report is called; we are learning this functionality is not used enough in everyday activity because multiple drivers have called with this issue.

*By walking through the steps below every other week (this process only takes about 30 seconds), users will not encounter this error. Our next release will automatically delete old files.

The following steps walk you through how to clear out any truck load/unload reports that are older than 10days. These steps will work whether you are in Truck Load or Truck Unload.

  1. Click OK on the error message dialog box.


  2. Once the error message is gone, press and hold anywhere on the grid to activate the drop down list. Click Reprint Report.


  3. Once you click Reprint Report it should take you to a list of Saved Reports, click on any one of the reports listed.


  4. Click Print.


  5. When the dialog box pops up prompting if you want to print anther copy click No.


  6. Once you have the printout click Exit/Return.


  7. It will take you back to the main Truck Load or Truck Unload screen, click Exit/Print and it will print the original load/unload you were trying to print (as long as you have not rebooted the handheld since you saved the load/unload).
