Note Note: All fields are from EPOD_JOB unless otherwise specified.

The customer also required that the status of the pallets delivered should be shown on the note. Due to this, and the slight changes to the content of the note shown above, the note has been redesigned as a A4 document, where the existing format (slightly modified for space) is the header of the document, followed by a list of pallets, their status and and descriptive text associated to them, as in the prototype shown.

  • Item - EPL_CONTAINER_ID
  • Status - EPL_STATUS (translated)
  • Notes - EPL_USER_NOTES (if claused) else EPL_REASON_CODE and EPL_DESCRIPTION of EPOD_REASON_CODE

Note Note: All fields are from EPOD_CONTAINER unless otherwise specified. Developer Notes:

  • As there is a possibility that the number of containers will exceed that allowable on a page, the format should be written as a paginated document. The style of this should be copied from previous examples (e.g. ALS.aspx.cs).
  • 30 lines should be allowed per page.
  • The Container list should be recognised as the Detail portion of the document, the rest seen as the header.
  • The header should be shown on each page, ensuring that the signature is shown at all times.
