Hi Folks, I'm relatively new to Advanced PDF so any help is appreciated. Is it possible to print the components of assemblies items on the picking ticket with advanced PDF? Most importantly, I need to be able to print the BIN of the component that matches the line level location of the assembly. So, if location = A for the assembly item, I need the BIN for components of that assembly at location A. The need behind this is that we have items that are essentially kits that I think we're going to be setting up as assembly items instead of kits and the only way we can get away with that is if I can print BIN information of the components (and component info) of an assembly item on picking tickets. Reasons for this approach: 1. COGS only rides with component items for kits, not the Kit item. However, revenue rides with Kit item. This is not how we want to report on our items. 2. We have a need to place a PO for a single item but receive it as 2 or more. We can 'hack' the system by placing POs for assembly items and then unbuild them upon receipt. Reason being that the vendor considers it one item but ships in two pieces. Also, of the two pieces, we modify one of them to become something more than it originally was so it becomes a new/different item in our system. 3. Using Kits, it will be very difficult to determine what item(s) are driving back order status by viewing an order in the UI. With assemblies we can create the WO and the components have a very nice view of availability. These items would not be comprised solely of inventory and non-inventory items, there would be assemblies as well, so it could get messy in a hurry. Really we have 2 types of "kits" that would be created as assemblies. 1. True kits where the "thing" being sold is a combination of other individually salable items 2. A pair (or more) of items (likely components from NS perspective) that make up one finished good product but is not completely assembly at time of shipment (customer completes finally assembly) but are shipped in the same box. For all that, I think assemblies are a more scalable solution and seem to be better built out than Kits in NetSuite. I'm open to suggestions, but from the people in my local network, making assemblies work seems to be the preferable approach. The key is just getting to print the right information. I know NS released the ability to use saved searches as Advanced PDF templates, but it doesn't look like i can assign a search to a pick ticket template. I'd have to just go to the search and select print and then choose the template I've created, which could be coded to mimic pick tickets I suppose. Thanks for any and all feedback on initial question and overall approach to the solution.

Was going to suggest the saved search path, but see you have already concluded that. There are ways to add a button to Fulfillment transaction view mode to print search results. This may get you started (it's what I followed): https://followingnetsuite.com/2018/11/19/advanced-pdf-template-via-a-button/

thanks, I'll take a peek. of course the next step would/will be to batch print the pick tickets using this new format, not just singletons via the UI. appreciate the insight

such a simple idea to use the filtered-search-results url schema to print a pdf of a single search result - love that blog
