Document Variables for Shipments

Shipment variables are used for both for documents customized in application settings and for formatting reports using page templates. Using shipments variables for documents customized in application settings is documented here.


For page templates, the shipments variables are available when the following conditions are true:

  • Shipment ID has been selected as a primary column (it does not work if the Order ID is in a calculated column)

  • The Shipment ID primary column has a value in the first row following a page break that starts a new report section.


The easiest way to check that the shipment variables will be available in the page template for a report is to export the report to Excel and verify that there is a shipment id in the first row of each sheet in the output.
