Printing User-Defined Forms and Labels

Use the User-Defined Document/Label printing function to print labels or other special documents that your company uses. Print labels and documents for transfers, purchase orders, and sales orders from the transactions or from the Warehouse Picking Confirmation Queue.

You can edit the printing quantity even if the order is in view-only mode. Use the Label Printing Default Print Selectioncontrol maintenance record to set the default for the Print Selection field for labels printed from sales order entry, purchase order entry, transfer order entry, and RF. You can set a different default for each.

Before you print, ensure your printer is correctly connected and configured, and that the correct document or label paper is loaded in the printer.

To print labels and forms from a transfer, purchase, or sales order:

  1. From a transfer order, purchase order, or sales order, select Label Printing from the Line Item menu to display the Select Transfer Type dialog box.

  1. Select whether to print labels using shipped quantities or received quantities to display the User Defined Document/Label Printing window.

  2. In the Document/Label Format field, enter the code that identifies the format of the document or labels to print or select a document type defined for your company.

  1. In the PrintSelection field, indicate for what items or orders you want to print documents or labels.

Print Selection

Description

Current Item Only

Prints the document or labels for only the selected product in the order.

All Items

Prints the document or label for all items on the order.

If the label type you select in the Document/Label Format field is an item label, the Print Selection field defaults to All Items.

Order Only

Prints the document or labels for the order as a whole, not the individual line items.

If the label type you select in the Document/Label Format field is an order label, the Print Selection field defaults to Order Only.

  1. In the Total Count field, enter the total number of documents or labels to print.

The Total Count field initially displays the total of all the different package types. Update the quantity if necessary. If no package types are defined, the field displays 1.

Note: If you use the Boxed Qty field, the entry in that field overrides the entry in the Total Count field.

  1. In the Boxed Quantity field, enter the quantity the system should print on the label. The system uses the value you enter in this field to determine how many labels to print and what the ship quantity is for each label. The value you enter in this field overrides the value in the Total Count field.

For example, you are shipping 150 of an item, however, only 50 of that item fit in a box. Enter 50 in this field to indicate the box quantity. The system prints three shipping labels, one for each box of 50. Each shipping label indicates a ship quantity of 50.

Note: If you have the type for the form or label set to IM (Item Specific, Muli-Call) in theUser Defined Shipping Labels Format Maintenance screen, theTotal Countfield defaults to the total number of the item for which you are printing labels. If you leave theBoxed Quantityfield blank, you can override the value in theTotal Countfield to 1, so one label prints with a ship quantity of 100.

  1. Click Print to print the form or label and exit the window.

Note: For information about obtaining custom documents and labels, contact the Eclipse Support department.
