Lineside labeling

	Lineside labeling When the receipt of end items from production is confirmed, various fields related to the originating demand order can be printed on handling unit labels. The purpose is to reduce mislabeling by attaching container labels during production or receipt rather than at the shipping dock. The originating demand order is the sales schedule and related sales contract for which the production order for the end item was initiated. The fields related to the originating demand order include, for example: Sold-to Business Partner Ship-to Business Partner The sold-to and ship-to address fields of the sales contract Business Partner Item Business Partner Item Description Business Partner Item Revision The Business Partner Item and the Business Partner Item Description are retrieved from the item code system related to the received item and the allocated-to business partner. The Business Partner Item Revision number is retrieved via the business partner item code. See Label layouts for lineside labeling for the complete list of demand order fields available for label printing. How LN retrieves the demand order fields To retrieve the demand order fields during receipt, demand pegging must be implemented for the item. The specification of the received handling unit, if present, or the receipt line of the production order is used to retrieve the fields of the originating demand order, which are to be printed on the handling unit labels. Retrieval of the demand order fields is supported for the demand pegging types Customer Based and Customer Location Based. Note If more than one sales contract or sales schedule is present for the item, the information printed on the labels is incomplete because LN is unable to determine which of these contracts or schedules is the relevant contract or schedule. Demand pegging setup Select the Demand Pegging check box in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session. In the Items (tcibd0501m000) session, for the relevant items select the Demand Pegged check box and specify Customer Based or Customer Location Based in the Demand Pegging Type field. Note If handling units must be used during receipt, specify Physical Item in the Allocation Level field of the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2510m000) session. Consequently, the handling unit obtains the specification of the demand order. Business partner item code system and item setup Specify the item code systems and business-partner item codes for the sold-to business partners in the Item Code System - Items (tcibd0104m000) session. Specify the business partner item revisions in the Business Partner Item - Revisions (tcibd0114m000) session. Label printing setup Define label layouts for the fields to be printed on the labels in either of these sessions: Label Layouts (whwmd5520m000) Label Layout by Activities (whwmd5121m000) Related topics Label layouts for lineside labeling Label layout and printing Demand pegging overview Inventory allocation levels Repetitive Manufacturing (RPT)
