Need a physical copy of a sales order (SO) or packing list? Katana makes it easy to print or save them as PDFs using five pre-designed templates.

Note: Packing lists will not include service items as they are non-physical and do not require picking or shipping.


Available print templates

Katana offers five print templates for SOs. Each serves a specific purpose:

1. Sales order

  • Includes all SO card details except Sales item and Ingredient statuses.

  • Includes address and tracking info.

2. Sales order with statuses

  • Same as the standard Sales Order, but also includes statuses for Sales items and Ingredients.

3. Packing list

  • Lists all items and their quantities.

  • Includes SO number, customer name, delivery deadline, address, and tracking info.

  • Excludes service items.

4. Packing list with tracing data

  • Same as the standard Packing List, but includes batch or serial number tracking.

  • Items are sorted alphabetically by their default storage bin name for easier picking.

5. Sales order without discounts

  • Includes all SO details except discount info and item/ingredient statuses.

  • Also includes address and tracking info.

All printouts include your company’s legal name and address in the footer.


Customizing print templates

Want to personalize your templates? Katana offers a flexible PDF Editor that allows you to:

  • Add logos, branding, and custom fields.

  • Adjust layout, structure, and design.

  • Insert special components like barcodes or QR codes.
