NECESSARY FEATURE: Add "Packing Slip Printed" Column to Orders Awaiting Shipment

[TanyaPrima]

It is imperative that we be able to see a column showing if the packing slip has been printed, in the Orders Awaiting Shipment tab. 

I have seen many other requests for this since as early as 2021. And the column is already available in the Shipments tab. So there is no reason why this shouldn't be able to implement right away. 

Shipstation please implement this feature urgently

We created a lovely neon green tag called _Printed.  The _ sorts it to the top as its our most used tag.  We tag the orders as they are printed.  Tags show up at least. This issue goes back a lot longer than since 2021.  While not automated, it does keep us from packing duplicate orders.

I would love to see this as well.  I'm already doing the tagging thing as suggested, but it's tedious and if you forget...

Hello, @TanyaPrima!

Thank you for your patience while we looked into your feature request. I am happy to report that Users can now see a column for "Packing Slip Printed" in the orders grid. You can also filter by it (printed/not printed). This works exactly like it does on the Shipments tab. 

Happy Shipping!

Any chance there is an undocumented api call to get this?

We use the bulk update feature when we print and add an internal note saying "p" for print to all orders we print in that run. 

It's not great if your company needs that space to see notes but since it's not a feature we require

this allows us to see what has been printed at a glance.

This feature is available now as of one of the updates in the last month I think.  Just add it as one of the visible columns if you don't see it.

I'm so glad to see this feature has been added HOWEVER, it is not working. We print packing slips daily, several hundred at a time and I have yet to see the color change, acknowledging that they were printed. Can we find out why this new feature is not working?? @CaraAdmin

It only works if you print using shipstation connect. If you just print by opening the packing slips or batch and choosing the normal browser print button, it doesn't register that its printed. You have to use SS Connect.
