The label printing process describes the procedure for generating labels from various source processes in procurement, sales, and merchandise management. Labels are forwarded to physical printing by means of so-called print jobs. The print jobs are prepared according to the respective source documents. Print jobs can be triggered by the respective functions from the purchase order, goods receipt, sales order, goods issue, and correction document, as well as when completing price management.

LPT-0010 - Create print job

Print jobs themselves can be created manually or by function from the corresponding source document. The label print job can either be edited immediately or opened and edited later from the label print job list. From the respective source document, it is also possible to navigate to the print jobs of the document. Depending on the setup of the respective warehouse location, a check is made when posting the goods receipt as to whether a print job has already been created.

Incoming processes:

LPT-0020 - Adjust print job header

The label print job contains the print information that was created automatically. It is possible to modify some print information. At this point, for example, the so-called label type can be used to select whether adhesive or hang tags are involved. Furthermore, the printer for output can be selected. Additional parameters such as the price date can be used to influence price determination accordingly (for example, when printing prices that only become valid the following week). Sales code, sales type, and currency can be used to further detail price determination.

LPT-0030 - Capture print job lines

Lines are captured for the label print job. These contain all items intended for the print job and provide information about the status of the print job. If the print job was created automatically, the lines have already been created. In the case of manual print job creation, lines can be added by function. This means that items from, for example, a purchase order are transferred into the lines of the print job.

LPT-0040 - Print labels

The label printing is executed using the function “Print”. The system generates the print layout based on the selected label type and sends it to the label printer.
