Dynamic Ship version 2.5 and newer contains a new feature that allows you to use placeholders in the package options. You can put placeholders into the following fields in the package options:

  • Print Custom 1

  • Invoice No.

Leave the values blank if they are not relevant to the order.

The table below contains available placeholders (including the square brackets):

Placeholder Description
[contact] Customer contact name, from the [source].
[customer] Customer No. from the [source].
[invoice] Invoice No. If the invoice number is not present on the header, it is generated.
[item] First item in the license plate.
[lot] Lot of [item].
[lp] License plate number of the current package.
[name] Customer name, from the [source].
[order] What the user scans in a pack worksheet, which may include: order number, sales order, transfer order, warehouse shipment number.
[orderext] External document number, from the [order].
[qty] Quantity of [item].

[source] Source document number: sales order, transfer order, or underlying document for warehouse shipment.

These package options can be added to:

  • Default to all packages for a single customer by adding them to a package option template used in Dynamic Ship Customer Options.
  • Default on all packages by adding them to the Default Package Option Template Code in Dynamic Ship Setup.

    Hello, Is there other place holders? Example: Ship-to code is requested on the Fedex label for one customer.

      This is the full list of placeholders that are available out of the box. If you would like other values, you can email [email protected] and request a customization for other values that you want to add. We would just need to know the table and field id you want to use in order to get you an estimate.

    Quick question, can we concatenate multiple placeholders in a field

    Ex: In “Print Custom 1″ = [orderext] & ” ” & [yourref]

      Hello Argirios,

      Yes. You can use the format [___] [___] (separated by a space) to add to placeholders to one custom field.

      Thank you,
