A publishing group is used to link multiple publications together in regard to the truck manifest and bundle tops. When running Start Publ Run, you will select a publishing group rather than a product if you want multiple publications to have their draws combined on distribution documents.
Publishing groups are also necessary if you want multi-pack indicators (asterisks) to appear on the truck manifest and bundle top indicating that the bundle contains multiple products.
Select Distribution | Publishing Group to display the Publishing Group Selection window. Existing publishing groups are listed in the top portion of the window.
In the lower portion of the screen, click the Add Publishing Group icon () and complete the following fields:
Publishing Group —Enter an ID for this publishing group.
Description—Enter a description of this publishing group.
Business Rule Product—Enter the product whose Business Rules should apply to the entire publishing group.
Click OK to add the publishing group.
