   The associated sales will be listed.
3. If you want to:
   • print a packing slip for an order or quote: click Advanced Filters and change the Sale Status to Orders or Quotes.
   • re-print a packing slip for a sale which has already been printed: click Advanced Filters and deselect the option Unprinted or Unsent Sales Only.
4. Select the sales for which you want to print packing slips.
5. Click Print.

To email packing slips

While you can't email packing slips directly from AccountRight, you can use third-party software to "print" (save) the packing slip as a PDF which you can then attach to an email. Windows 10 has a built-in Print as a PDF option which is available when printing, or you can use a program like Adobe Acrobat or CutePDF to provide the ability to print (save) documents as PDFs.

Once you have the ability to print to PDF, when printing the packing slip in AccountRight and you're prompted to choose a printer, choose the PDF printer from the list of printers. This saves the packing slip as a PDF which you can then attach to an email.

To customise a packing slip form

AccountRight comes with default packing slip forms which you can customise to change the look and feel and modify what's displayed.
