Thanks for the responses guys.  And sorry for not realizing this was already in documentation.  I was looking for days for information on batch printing of labels and could not find anything for the life of me.

Thanks again,
James

Thanks for answering this BJ, in spite of a little bit of lack of  
respect in the question and follow-up, especially related to not  
looking at existing documentation, where there are answers to all of  
these questions.

In the end-user documentation on docs.ofbiz.org it does cover some  
stuff on managing pick-lists and shipment packing. Related to that, it  
isn't all that common to pick more than one order at a time, but  
usually packing/weighing/labeling packages to ship them is done one at  
a time.

Of course, you can build anything you can imagine that is "internally  
consistent" (ie not self-contradictory), and there are good tools and  
lower level functionality in OFBiz that make that easier.
