Create as many different configurations as your business requires. Use these print configurations to send document print jobs to different printers by company location, temperature zones or what ever suits your business.

 

•Printing picking labels uses multiple configurations and works in conjunction with the report configuration name assigned to individual items in Inventory File Maintenance.

 

•When picking labels are generated they can be routed to multiple printers (using the printer assignment saved in the configuration file) or using multiple designs (again, as saved in the specified configuration).

•Report Options:

▪Separate Add-Ons - is not available for this label.

▪Invert colors on PC. items

▪Print changed items only. When this option is enabled then the quantity information recorded by the previous feature is used so that labels will only be printed for items that have been added, changed or removed since the last printing.

•Example 1: If 3 labels had been printed for a given item and the customer added on 2 more boxes, only 2 more labels would be printed.

 

•Example 2: If the customer reduced the order to only 2 boxes, again 1 label would be printed with a -1 as the quantity.  The option to inverted colors on negative-quantity labels (white on black background), will assist Warehouse Pickers in the scenario in example 2.

▪Print negative-quantity labels inverted (white on black background).

▪Print catchweight labels. The feature was extended so the option setting can be applied across all label configurations regardless of the "Print Catchweight Labels" setting that is saved with those configurations. Normally the printing of Catchweight Labels is directly tied to the active Picking Label configuration which allows for labels to print for only certain configurations or to have different Catchweight Label layouts assigned to different Picking Label configurations.

▪Check box option to Use selected configuration for all labels. This option will take the Use Configuration value and override the normal behavior so that the selected Catchweight Label configuration will be used for all qualifying items. This allows you to use a custom configuration for the label.

▪The "Only print labels for catchweight items" option check box will only print picking labels for catchweight items.

Support for “Box ID” on Picking Labels

•Support for printing a "Box ID" value has been added to the Picking Labels configuration in the Reports system. The purpose for the “Box ID” value is to provide a unique bar code number to identify each box on a truck in a customer's order using a hand held scanner. “Box ID” is printed on the label as a code 39 bar code. Use of the "Box ID" value ensures that the truck delivers a customer’s entire order.  

 

“Box ID” field format:

•8 Character Item Number (right padded with spaces)

•4 Character Line Number (left padded with 0)

•5 Character Box Number (left padded with 0)

 

For example, If a customer has ordered:

2 CASE 10107 FRIES

1 CASE 20300 KETCHUP

3 CASE 10900 ONION RINGS

 

For the order above the following “Box ID” values would be printed on labels as bar codes:

10107 000100001(the first case of fries)

10107000100002 (the second case of fries)

20300000200001 (the first case of ketchup)

10900000300001 (the first case of onion rings)

10900000300002 (the second case of onion rings)

10900000300003(the third case of onion rings)
