Label Layout The code applied for single-item handling units. This label layout code is linked to handling units when LN generates the handling units. You can modify the label layout code. To print labels for handling units, LN determines the label layout in the following priority: Use the label layout defined for the handling unit Use the label layout defined in the Warehouse Order Activities Use the label layout defined in the relevant sessions that triggers the label printing For each of the priorities listed above, LN searches for the layout text in the following sequence: Apply activity-specific layout text from the Label Layout by Activities (whwmd5121m000) session Apply the general layout text from the Label Layouts (whwmd5520m000) session Note If no label layout code is specified, LN retrieves the label layout codes defined at warehouse order activity level or warehouse level. Related topics Label layout and printing Print receipt and shipment labels without handling units Label Layout The description or name of the code. Multi-Item Label Layout The label layout code applied for multi-item handling units. This label layout code is linked to handling units when LN generates the handling units. LN generates only single-item handling units. The composition of multi-item handling units is a manual process. You can change a single-item handling unit into a multi-item handling unit. When you change a single-item handling unit into a multi-item handling unit, often a different label layout is applied. You can modify the label layout code. LN also allows you to specify the second (mixed) label layout code in the package definition. The only exception is the lowest level of the package definition which contains the child level handling units. LN uses the second label layout when a single-item handling unit, (usually generated by LN) is manually changed into a mixed-item handling unit. You can change the second label layout code at handling unit level. For more information, refer to Automatic Labeling of Multi-Item Handling Unit field of the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session.
