Assign Item Labels

Use the Assign Item Labels function to assign label styles that you create to inventory items. You can create custom labels using the Item Labels function on the IN Master List menu, or the Receiving Labels function on the WM Master List menu. Alternately, you can create custom labels using a third-party label provider such as BarTender. Label styles might include general item labels, receiving labels, hazardous material labels, ingredient labels, etc.

The SM business rule to set the Label Provider determines your label style options. If the Label Provider business rule is set to 'Standard' (default), you can choose a label style you created in the label functions mentioned above. If the Label Provider business rule is set to a third-party label provider, you will have to enter the label style. For more details on how the system determines which label style and printer to use, see the Label Overview topic.
