The operation of a store requires numerous documents, be it labels or reports, to be printed daily. The printing of the documents is either initiated by the occurrence of specific events or is requested ad-hoc by a user.
For example, carrier labels being printed at a manifest station after carton is scanned or a truck manifest (MBOL) being requested when a trailer loading is complete and truck is ready to close.
Documents are printed either individually or in a set or group. A document set consists of multiple documents that are related to individual activity that is performed.
For example, the release of a wave triggers print of wave summary report, carton content labels, batch sheets, and packing slips.
Examples of documents printed in a store include packing lists, BOL, carrier labels, SKU labels, and UCC128 SCM labels.
The standard documents that include are as follows:
A specific document has a label format and printer sub type associated to it.
The association of a print document to the printer sub type (for example, packing slips on HP LaserJet printers) is done through Setting up a Printer Sub Type. For more information about setting up a Printer Sub Type, see "Defining a Device Sub Type".
The association of a specific printer to an equipment is done through Associate Devices to Equipment ID. For more information about associating a device with equipment, see, "Setting Up an Equipment Device Association".
The association of a specific printer to a station is done through Associate Devices to Station ID. For more information about associating a device with station, see , "Setting Up a Station Device Association".
The association of a document to a label format and name is done here.
You can define print documents, user printer preferences, and participant print preferences.
