Using the Labeling Tool

Use

If you have created a report template with the Wizard and call up the label from report management or the report information system, the SAP system loads the labeling tool.

Note Note

Labels for which the labeling tool is loaded cannot be exported, sent, or printed out via the SAP spool.

If you have not used the Label Wizard, Microsoft Word is opened directly.

End of the note.

Prerequisites

You have created a report template with the Label Wizard (see Using the WWI Label Wizard ).

You have released the report template and assigned it to a generation variant.

If the report template does not contain any specification symbols, you can select the report directly in the report information system.

If the report template contains specification symbols, you must create a report in the specification management hit list (see Report Editing). As long as the report is not released, you can select it in report management. Following release, the report is also available in the report information system.

Procedure

In the report tree in the report information system (see Using the Report Information System ) or in report management (see Editing Worklists for Reports ), select a report that was created with the Label Wizard.

Choose or .

The EH&S Labels dialog box appears.

Note the following:

Choose Settings to select the unit and language to be used in the EH&S Labels dialog box. Under Settings , you can also choose between the labeling filesWWI_ALL.LBL and WWI_USER.LBL.

In the Labels dialog box, the SAP system shows in the Label template section what dimensions (height x width) the currently open label has.

Select the Show only fitting labels field if you want suitable labels to be listed in the Label information group box under Product number. Under Label properties you can check the height and width for the product number you selected. The Detail function provides you with detailed information about the dimensions. The Labels in row and Labels in column fields tell you how many labels are printed on the selected page format per page.

If no suitable label is found, you can choose another name in the Label product field or choose the New label function. Enter a label name and the dimensions. Choose OK to apply the new label as the label product USER.

If you cannot find the correct paper format in the selection list for the label you defined yourself, you can extend the list by adding the required paper formats in the label file WWI_USER.LBL in the [PAPERFORMATS] section. To the left of the equals sign a P must be listed with a sequential number; to the right an internal name for the paper format that refers to another section you need to insert to define the details of the paper format.
