In the part need screen, you are able to click multiple parts to print out. however if there are 3 parts on 1 request/task, it will print out 3 separate print picks and generate 3 separate shipments. whereas if its done on the request screen it will put everything in 1 shipment / print pick
has anyone had a similar issue? is there any way of fixing this?

I hope you are referring to the part need search screen. If so, this has always been the functionality when it comes to picking in the part need screen. The Part Need Search screen does perform_inventory_picking, with the following parameters:
<perform_inventory_picking>
<parameters>
<allow_partials>Y</allow_partials>
<include_req_on_hold>N</include_req_on_hold>
<request_id>@request_id</request_id>
<pn_sequence>@pn_sequence</pn_sequence>
<run_option>2</run_option>
</parameters>
</perform_inventory_picking>
Hence, there’s currently no client logic to ‘bundle’ up submissions even if it is a multi pick. As a workaround you can use the logistics manager > pick list function to bulk print pick. Where it will create one shipment for all part needs regardless of the request they consist of. And you also have the option to separate shipments if they are on different requests.
Otherwise, if you wish you can add a button to the Part Need Search screen to alter to use the same parameters or constraints that are used from the Request screen. But without coding you will not be able to get the results that you want as the print button on the part need search screen is hard coded.
