Process documentationAutomatic Label Printing

 

With automatic label printing, the labels are printed immediately after the print requests have been generated. After they have been printed, the print requests are displayed in the labeling workbench. In the labeling workbench, you can reprint print requests or use them as a template for the label check or for new print requests.

Caution Caution

Unlike manual label printing (see Manual Label Printing), automatic label printing does not allow you to change the values and settings for the print requests in the labeling workbench (transaction CBGLWB) before printing.

End of the caution.

Prerequisites

  • You have configured the labeling workbench in the Customizing activities Define Basic Data for Function Workbench and Define Layout of Function Workbench in Customizing for Global Label Management.

  • You have access authorization for the print stations on which the labels are printed.

Process

Print requests that are to be printed automatically after generation must be identified accordingly before the print requests are generated. You can do this in two ways:

  • In Customizing for Global Label Management, under Specify Default Header for Print Request, you can specify that the print requests generated for this header data are printed immediately.

  • In Label Printing (transaction CBGL_MP01), you choose Print Immediately before the print requests are generated. The advantage of this setting is that you can still edit the values that are to be output in the print requests before the print requests are generated.

The print requests already printed are managed in the labeling workbench using the selected print information system or simplified print information system function. These print requests are identified in the worklist as printed and have the print request status Printing successful (DE).
