Printing of labels

Epicor ERP 9
1

Hi All,

E9.05.702A

We are planning to implement the use of labels printed out of Epicor for our component inventory. These would be internal use only.
As I review the transaction points that support the printing of labels, I believe there is only two places. One at PO receipt entry and the other at Inspection Processing.
If I have it correct, I was surprised to see that there is no option to print a label at Job Receipt to Inventory.
The other requirement we have is an ability to print a label for on hand product in case the label was damaged, for example.

My team can certainly build this functionality but I wanted to see how others handle labeling for component level inventory and the two scenarios above that don’t appear to exist in base Epicor.

I believe that for the reprinting situation, Epicor uses Bartender to print labels so that you can reprint from Bartender if you need to reprint a label.

There is a print tags function on the MES report quantity and end activity
screens.

Thanks Brad (someone else mentioned MES as well).

Unfortunately, we do not use MES.

I do something similar with product labels that are being generated on Report Quantity.

First, I had issues with the standard tag printing, next I had issues with E10 interface with Bartender.

Ultimately, I ended up writing my own code to generate Bartender trigger files. I have written the code both for use in a BPM and customization.

For reprints, since the code is already in place to print a label based on values from the DB - all I do is give my user the ability to pick a previous transaction, and reprint.

I use a BAQ and show the last 30 transactions against a job (for MFG-STK only in my case) - this shows in a grid which the user can click to reprint (they also have options for which printer and number of copies - both which are part of the bartender file)

(The printer defaults based on workstation, but the user can change it if desired)
