Process order

The process order must be entered by you.

Material

The system uses the material specified in the process order. If the process order contains a number of materials, the first material is used. However, you can choose a different material from the process order.

Packaging unit and number of packaging units

The system determines the packaging unit and the number of these from the packaging hierarchy of the material and the quantity entered in the process order (see Determination of Type and Number of Packaging Units).

Hierarchy explosion

You can specify whether the packaging hierarchy should be exploded, that is, whether the system should also determine labels for all packaging units that exist in the packaging hierarchy below the packaging unit specified. The packaging hierarchy will not be exploded by default.

Modes of transport and countries

The modes of transport and countries for the label are often not known at the time of production. Therefore, the system determines the plant from the process order, and uses the modes of transport and validity areas that were assigned to this plant in the IMG activity Specify Values for EPA Numbers, Validity Areas, and Modes of Transport in Customizing for Global Label Management as the modes of transport and validity areas. The system uses the validity areas to determine the countries belonging to them. You can change the modes of transport and countries that are suggested.

Additional user entries

The additional entries you have to make in the labeling scenario depend on the settings you made for the labeling scenario in the IMG activity Specify Labeling Scenarios in Customizing for Global Label Management.
