Label layout and printing
In the Label Layouts (whwmd5520m000) session, you can create and maintain labels that can
be used for:
In the Label Layout by Activities (whwmd5121m000) session, you can adjust the label layouts for
specific outbound, receipt, shipment, or inspection activities.
You can print label layouts in the Print Label Layouts (whwmd5420m000) session.
To define a label layout:
- Specify the code and description of the label layout in the Label Layout and Description fields.
- If required, specify the Barcode Type and the Barcode Height [Lines].
- Select the label layout and start the text editor on the
toolbar.
In the text editor, specify the expressions and, if
required, the barcode expressions, of the fields whose contents you want to
include in the label.
You can find the label expressions in the Expression columns next to the Field columns in the tables of the current topic. The barcode expressions are listed
in the Barcode Expressions columns.
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 hash sign, 'lb', and a dot ( #lb.
). On the printed label, the label code is replaced with the value of
the corresponding label field.
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 (whwmd4600m000) session is selected.
- One serialized item is linked to the shipment line.
- Serials are low volume.
Inbound procedures
For inbound procedures you can print the
following fields on the labels:

Note
For handling unit structures,
labels are printed for bottom-level handling units. If a bottom-level handling
unit contains multiple stock points, the stock point information is not printed on
the label. This is because the label field cannot contain more than one code.
For example, if the handling unit contains three stock points and the label
definition includes the Inventory Date field (lb.inv.date), which is a stock
point detail, LN does not
"know" which of the three inventory dates to print.
Kanban
For Kanban you can print the following fields on
the labels:

Bin of Supply Location | lb.sloc.bin | bc.lb.sloc.bin |
Description of Supply Location | lb.sloc.desc | bc.lb.sloc.desc |
Supply location
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 made 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.
