Label Processing

The system gathers label data from various tables into an outbound document and sends this information to a third-party to format and print the labels. You can send label information from these programs:

  • Demand Maintenance (P40R10).

  • Sales Order Entry (P4210), if you are not using Demand Scheduling.

  • Carton Detail Inquiry (P4621), if the carton detail was created from carton recommendations.

The system uses inbound scanned label data to create or update carton detail and to create the ASN. The system requires detailed carton information on the ASN and the Bill of Lading to describe the shipment. Labels must have standard data from the inbound EDI message.

You can generate label serial numbers based on the branch/plant value using label next numbers. You can also generate labels externally. Label serial numbers are stored and validated by the third-party vendor. The system stores these numbers after you scan the number to verify quantities of shipment items with the quantities of carton detail items. You can correct discrepancies as necessary.
