Background documentationLabel Printing

 

Global Label Management provides the following options for printing labels:

  • Label Printing on PC

    After you trigger label determination in Label Printing (transaction CBGL_MP01), the system displays all of the labels determined for the labeling scenario in the label tree. You can print the labels from here. The labels are then printed on the printer connected to your local PC.

  • Label Printing via Manually Generated Print Requests

    After you trigger label determination in Label Printing, the system displays all of the labels determined for the labeling scenario in the label tree. Here, you first generate a print request for the required label. You can edit and print this print request in the Labeling Workbench.

  • Label Printing via Automatically Generated Print Requests

    Label determination and generation of the print request for the label in question are triggered automatically by process orders, handling units, or deliveries. You can edit and print the print request in the Labeling Workbench.

Labeling scenarios allow you to control label determination and label printing by defining the data that the system uses to determine the labels. In other words, the use case or business process for which the relevant labels are to be printed is defined in a labeling scenario. This allows labels to be printed at an early stage when a process order is produced or at a later stage when a delivery is sent to a particular customer, for example.

The required labeling scenarios are defined in Customizing for Global Label Management under Define Print Scenarios. Here, you specify the type of print output (Via Print Request or Via PC) for the labeling scenario.

You can also implement additional labeling scenarios.
