I would give shipping the responsibility of printing the picking list at the
very last moment. Once that happens "too bad Mr/Ms Customer when it comes
to qty changes or deletes". Any additions are a new order.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] Customer order changes while order is being picked
Our shipping department frequently has "14 page" picking lists which they
make notes on while pulling the items. They are regularly required to
deal with order changes while the picking is in process and do NOT want to
deal with a new 14 page pick list.
If customer service deletes a pick list and forgets to print a new one
(having conveyed the change over the phone to Shipping, our purchasing
department gets off track monitoring item demand.
If new items are added, a new (additional) pick list can be sent to
shipping. It is the items that are deleted, replaced or the quantity
changes that cause the problems.
Is anyone else dealing with an operating policy that allows changes until
the order is physically gone? Do you have any "creative" options for
dealing with this and still keeping shipping, inventory and invoicing
in-sync and accurate?
Thanks
