System Values - Couriers - General
Table Of Contents
The General courier settings control how Khaos Control stores and prints courier labels and documents, assigns orders to couriers, and handles physical and non-physical items during courier exports.
The options available may depend on the courier integration you use.
Label path
Use Label path to specify where courier label images are stored.
This setting applies when your courier integration supports label images.
Print command
Use Print command to specify the command used to print courier documents.
For example, the command can launch Adobe Acrobat to open and print a courier document.
This setting only applies to courier integrations that support documents.
Convert to PDF files
This setting controls how PDF files supplied by courier integrations are handled.
- Ticked: Khaos Control converts the PDF files to images for printing or embedding.
- Unticked: An external application, such as Adobe Acrobat, is launched to handle the PDF files.
Save converted PNGs
This setting applies when Convert to PDF files is ticked.
When enabled, the PNG files created during the conversion process are retained after printing rather than being deleted.
Use per-user printer mappings for courier export
Enable Use per-user printer mappings for courier export if different users need to send courier output to different printers.
When enabled, Khaos Control checks for a printer configured for the current user in:
[ System Data | Courier Printer Mapping ]
If a printer mapping exists for that user and courier, it takes priority over the printer specified in the courier configuration.
Prevent Printing if Printer Name Option is Blank
Enable this option to prevent courier labels from being printed when the Printer Name option is blank.
This can be useful when you use integrated labels and want to avoid printing duplicate copies of the same label.
Courier Assign Order
Use Courier Assign Order to choose the sequence in which selected invoices are assigned to a courier.
Orders can be assigned by:
- Invoice Code
- Sales Order Code
Choose the option that best matches the order in which you want your courier consignments processed.
Exclude non-physical items from exporting to couriers
Enable this setting to exclude stock items marked as non-physical when information is exported to courier integrations.
This is useful for items that do not need to be shipped.
Exclude a single empty box from exporting to couriers
Enable this setting to control how an invoice with a single empty box is exported.
If an invoice has:
- only one box assigned to it, and
- no items packed into that box,
Khaos Control exports the order to new-style courier integrations without any box information.
