Use ION’s prebuilt marketplace automation to generate a packing or pick list pdf for your kits. Every time the status of a kit is moved to “IN PROGRESS” this automation will generate a pick list and the generated pdf file will be attached to a kit custom attribute that you can specify. When you move the kit to the “REQUESTED”, “DELIVERED”, or “COMPLETED” (configurable) status this automation will generate a packing list and the generated pdf file will be attached to a kit custom attribute that you specify. This automation will allow you to enable/disable both the kit packing and pick list pdf generation.
DISCLAIMER: This automation utilizes Carbone for PDF generation. Please see the Carbone disclaimer for more information.
