Print Labels Using "Save to New Batch"

(Streamlined Labels users) Use the following procedure if you clicked the "Labels" button from an application, and you want to save a batch of labels in the Label Manager. Batch files can be selected for printing, loaded to the Label Manager grid for sorting and selection, or deleted.

(Optional) Setup

If desired, set up option 7320 “Days to Keep Label Manager batch files” to control the amount of time (in days) that label batches which were not manually deleted after use, stay on the system. Label batches are deleted when the Date Created is older than the number of days specified in this option. This purge is run during the monthly archive purge. This option defaults to 9999 days.

Saving a Batch of Labels

2. Click Labels.

Number of LabelsChoices are "Specific Quantity," IMU # of Labels to Print", “Quantity on Hand,” “Quantity on Order”, or  “Quantity on Hand + Quantity on Order.”

If you select “IMU # of Labels to Print," the number of labels to be printed per SKU is taken from the Number of Bin Labels” field on the Codes tab of Inventory Maintenance. If the value in Inventory Maintenance is “N,” the system uses the quantity entered in “Specific Quantity,” and if that field is blank, the system uses a quantity of 1.

Specific Quantity If you set the “Number of labels” field to "Specific Quantity (entered below),” enter the number of labels that you want the system to print per SKU.

Print List if higher than PromoIf you are printing labels from Modify Item Promotions (MIP), then this checkbox displays. If you check this box, and the List Price in Inventory Maintenance (IMU) is higher than the Promotion Price in MIP, the label fields for Promo Price and RBL\RLA Price to Print prints the IMU List Price. If the List Price is lower than the Promotion Price in MIP, the label uses the MIP Promotion Price.

5. When you receive the message that the batch has been created successfully, click OK.
