Label layout and printing

In the Label Layouts (whwmd5520m000) session, you can create and maintain labels that can be used for:

Printing KANBAN labels
Generate Inbound Advice
Generate Outbound Advice
Printing labels for handling units
Direct Material Supply

You can print label layouts in the Print Label Layouts (whwmd5420m000) session.

Note

To include bar codes in label layouts, refer to Print bar codes.

Label layout

A label layout can contain a number of label fields in the form of label codes. These label codes must be preceded by a number sign, 'lb', and a dot ( #lb.). On the printed label, the label code is replaced with the value of the corresponding label field.

The supply location is the fixed location as defined for the supply warehouse and item in the Fixed Locations (whwmd3502m000) session. The user can only print this field on the label if the goods are supplied from a warehouse. For more information, refer to Line Supply Settings.

If more than one fixed location exists for each warehouse/item, the fixed location with the highest priority, in other words, the lowest value, is printed.

Row, level and bin are part of the location definition in the Warehouse - Location (whwmd3100s000) session.

Kanban deliveries are actually to the shop floor warehouse that supports the work center. The work center can only be printed if the shop floor warehouse supports a work center.

Print bar codes

To print a bar code, insert 'bc.' between the number sign and 'lb', such as #bc.lb.[label_code].

Example: #bc.lb.item.desc will print a bar code of the item description.

Note

Bar codes are not displayed on your screen.
Make sure that the correct cartridge is installed.

Print labels for handling units

To uniquely identify handling units, for example, containers, items, packages, and so on, LN enables you to print labels. For high-quality printing you can also use a label printing application, whose input is then supplied by LN. Note that a label is not just a bar code, but usually a combination of an item code and a handling unit number, both in digits and in bar codes.

To create a label for a specific handling unit, in the Handling Units (whwmd5130m000) session, on the Status tab, select the Labeled check box.

Use the Print Labels (whwmd5430m100) session to print labels for handling units. The labels are printed according to the layout as specified in the Label Layouts (whwmd5520m000) session. Serial numbers are only printed on the label if:

The Serial Tracking check box in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000) session is selected.
One serialized item is linked to the shipment line.
Serials are in inventory.

Print receipt and shipment labels without handling units

For more information, refer to Print receipt and shipment labels without handling units.

Note

If you use package definitions, you can specify that labels are automatically created for specific parts of the handling-unit structure.

For the Inbound procedures, you can print the following fields on the labels :
