Standard and custom labels

For a list of TWL label types that you can print using IDM , see Label types.

Standard labels include this type of data:

• Keydata

  Keydata is used to retrieve data to be displayed on the label. Keydata can also be displayed on a label. Keydata is set by the function that calls the label program. For example, a carton label print request sets the keydata.carton_id so that the label program knows which carton to retrieve the carton tables for.

• Standard table field values

  The field values that are available are from the tables that are listed in the Label Types table.

• Calculated fields

  Calculated fields are created from other data fields. The tables for calculated fields start with xx. They are calculated if the table they are from is retrieved from is available for the label type. For example, xxbinmst.bin_num_formatted is available only if the binmst table is retrieved for the label type.

  See Calculated fields.

You can use keydata, standard table fields and calculated fields to create custom labels. To obtain the list of keydata and fields that you can use on custom labels, run the SA Default Label Retrieval Report.
