Automatic Invoice Insertion

Warehouse Management Consultants Newsletter: The Distribution Factor features PSI's Automatic Invoice Inserting Systems: Print Feeder & Autoslip in its Video of the Month

Invoice or packing list printing is often the slowest part of the pack operation (in operations where the invoice or packing list is not printed ahead of time).

One way to speed things up is with automatic invoice insertion or affixing in your packing area. A great advantage of waiting to print the invoice or packing list is that any shortages can be correctly indicated on the printed document with a neatly printed format.

Systems exist that will insert the invoice automatically into the box before the package is sealed.

The paper can either be inserted loose or it can be sealed in a pouch. The same pouch can also be applied to the outside of the box or inserted/dropped into the box, either before or after the box is sealed.

Finally, systems exist that can place a packing list under the shipping label so that the recipient can peel away the shipping label to expose the contents.

In order to get the right invoice or packing list with each order, a foolproof association must be made. This is normally done by sticking a sequential bar code (license-plate) on the box or by scanning paperwork that rides with the order (different from the paperwork to be generated).

The more sophisticated systems will automatically scan and print and insert the invoice without user intervention.
