Lending Slip added from "Ship" and "Shipped Physically" request

The "Resource Sharing Shipping Slip Letter" was edited in the network zone so delivery codes, request information and the format of the slip is the same as the lending slip produced before a request is "Shipped". This allows a library to print a lending slip when shipping a request or after a request has been shipped.

The "Resource Sharing Shipping Slip Letter" is the letter available:
  1. When a library "Ships" a request and the checkbox "Automatically print slip" is "Yes" 
  2.  On a "Shipped Physically" request using "Print Slip" 
The "Resource Sharing Shipping Slip Letter" must be enabled in your institution.
