Labels & Printing

Overview

Easy WMS provides label printing capabilities for multiple warehouse objects: containers (LPN), items/stock, cutting stock, locations, equipment, docks/stages, aisles, and carriers. Labels use either the Code 128 standard or the GS1-128 standard (structured barcodes with Application Identifiers).

Printing occurs at multiple touchpoints in the workflow: during reception, during picking, from the stock view, from the RF terminal, and automatically when containers arrive at configured stages or docks.

Label Types

Container Labels (LPN Labels)

Labels for containers/pallets identified by an SSCC (Serial Shipping Container Code). Generated before or during reception to pre-label containers for receiving.

Standard formats:

Format	Dimensions	Labels/Sheet	Paper
1x-A6	105 × 148 mm	1	A6 labeler
20x(105x29)	105 × 29 mm	20	A4
2x(175x135)	175 × 135 mm	2	A4
33x(75x25)	75 × 25 mm	33	A4
4x(105x148)	105 × 148 mm	4	A4
1xA5 (GS1-128)	148 × 210 mm	1	A5 labeler

GS1-128 Container Label Variants:

Three GS1-128 container label types:

1. SSCC label (standard container label): Contains container code and is used for generic container identification. Barcode encodes the SSCC.

2. GS1-128 mono-reference label (for single-item containers): Dual barcode - upper for item, lower for container. Used when container has stock of only one item.

3. GS1-128 multi-reference label (for multi-item containers or serialized items): For containers with multiple item stock lines or serial-number-controlled items.

GS1-128 Mono-Reference Application Identifiers (AI):

AI	Content	Structure
00	SSCC (container serial code)	n18 - always present
02	Item alias (GTIN)	n14 - always present
10	Lot number	an..20
11	Manufacturing date	n6
15	Best-before date	n6
17	Expiration date	n6
37	Quantity	n..8

Lot (AI 10), if present, always appears in the lower barcode next to the SSCC.

Container label generation use cases:

Method	Who	When
Generate from Easy WMS UI	Planner/admin	Pre-reception (select number of containers + copies per container)
Generate from RF terminal	Operator	Pre-reception (select format, count, printer)
Print GS1-128 in supplier receipt	Operator (RF)	During supplier receiving - for non-existing containers
Print GS1-128 in blind receipt	Operator (RF)	During blind receiving - must be enabled by parameter

Special case for supplier receipt: If the receipt was created from a receipt order that specified the container code (ROR message), the label prints with that ROR-specified code. The container GTIN in the ROR must follow GS1-128 spec (14 digits).

Parameters (container labels):

Parameter	Default	Description
NUM_COPIES_RECEPTION_LABEL	1	Copies per container during reception
RECEPTION_MAX_NUM_CONTAINER_LABELS_TO_PRINT	1000	Security limit: max copies per generation
DEFAULT_RECEPTION_LABEL_CONTAINER_REPORT_NAME	STD_RPT_CONTAINER_LABEL_GS1_128	Default report for mono and multi-reference container labels in reception
CONTAINER_LABEL_DEFAULT_FORMAT	(blank)	Default format: 1x-A6, 1x-GS1-128, 20x(105x29)-A4, 2x(175x135)-A4, 33x(75x25)-A4, 4x(105x148)-A4
ALLOW_PRINT_LABEL_CONTAINER_QUESTION_BLIND_RECEPTION	False	In blind reception: ask user if they want to print GS1 container labels

Item / Stock Labels

Labels for individual stock items. Two formats: Code 128 and GS1-128.

Code 128 item labels:

• Printed for receipt lines that are pending to receive or partially received
• Labels per line = remaining quantity to receive
• Content: item code + short description

Code 128 formats:

Format	Dimensions	Labels/Sheet	Paper
1x-A6	105 × 148 mm	1	A6 labeler
20x(105x29)	105 × 29 mm	20	A4
2x(175x135)	175 × 135 mm	2	A4
33x(75x25)	75 × 25 mm	33	A4
4x(148x105)	148 × 105 mm	4	A4

GS1-128 item labels:

• Can be printed from receipt lines (pending/partially received) or from the Stock view (post-reception)
• Number of labels entered by user
• Format: A6 horizontal (148 × 105 mm) - label printer

GS1-128 Item Application Identifiers (AI):

AI	Content	Structure
01	GTIN (item code)	n14 - always present
10	Lot number	an..20
11	Manufacturing date	n6
15	Best-before date	n6
17	Expiration date	n6
21	Serial number	an..20

Upper barcode = item + lot/serial. Lower barcode = dates (production, best-before, expiration in that order).

Requirements for GS1-128 item labels: Item must have a GTIN code (alias) following GS1-128 specification (14 digits).

To print item labels during reception (RF or workstation), it must be enabled at receipt level (from the receipts view, or via the ROR message field for all receipts from a given receipt order).

Item label generation use cases:

Method	Who	When
Print from receipt lines (PC)	Admin	From "Receipt lines" view for pending items
Print from Stock view (PC)	Admin	"Print labels" action in Stock view
Print GS1-128 in supplier receipt (RF)	Operator	During supplier receiving
Print GS1-128 in blind receipt (RF)	Operator	During blind receiving
Print GS1-128 at workstation receipt	Operator	During workstation receiving

Parameters (item labels):

Parameter	Default	Description
PRODUCT_LABEL_DEFAULT_FORMAT	(blank)	Default format: A6, 105x29, 175x135, 105x148, 75x25
DEFAULT_RECEPTION_LABEL_ITEM_REPORT_NAME	STD_RPT_STOCK_LABEL_GS1_128	Default report for item labels in reception
ALLOW_PRINT_LABEL_ITEM_QUESTION_BLIND_RECEPTION	False	In blind receipt: ask user if they want to print GS1 item labels

Cutting Stock Labels

Specialized label for cutting stock in non-consolidating UoM conversions. Used to track individual stretches through the warehouse.

Label content: Item code, quantity/length, UoM, logistic attributes (lot, caliber, quality, production method, origin, post-production treatment, date of manufacture, version, color).

Physical design: Label can be attached to the side of a roll (flat application) or wrap around a stretch (embrace application). Supported format: A6 only.

When labels are generated: A cutting stock label is only printed for stock in non-consolidating UoM. Three triggers:

1. During picking/cutting process - if cutting profile has "Label cutting stock" or "Label source stock" flag active
2. From Stock view (PC) - "Print cutting label" action on a stock record (non-consolidating UoM)
3. From RF Location adjustment (Utilities menu) - only if cutting profile has "Label source stock" active

Printer priority order (highest to lowest):

1. Printer associated with the cutting station (for cutting station stock)
2. Printer associated with the equipment
3. Printer defined in CUTTING_PRINTER parameter
4. Free choice of label printer in warehouse

Parameters (cutting stock labels):

Parameter	Default	Description
CUTTING_PRINTER	(blank)	Default printer for cutting stock labels during picking

Cutting profile flags that control label generation:

• "Labeling source stock" → generate label for the roll from which stock was cut
• "Labeling cut stock" → generate label for the cut portion

Client Container Labels

Automatically printed when a picking container is unloaded into a stage that has a printer configured.

Content: Stock list (items, quantities, UoM, logistic attributes), shipping order code, recipient name/address, carrier code, container code.

Parameter: CLIENT_CONTAINER_LABEL_REPORT (default: STD_RPT_CLIENT_CONTAINER_LABEL_15)

Packing list: CLIENT_CONTAINER_PACKING_REPORT (auto-print packing list when container downloaded to configured stage)

Multi-Reading of Labels at Reception

An alternative to standard receiving processes that allows reading all barcode data from GS1-128 labeled stock/containers in bulk.

Applicable to: Any reception type (supplier, blind, return) when GS1-128 labeled stock arrives.

Four modes:

Mode	Use Case
Loose stock	Receive unexpected loose stock (receipt/return/blind)
Multi-reference containers	Multi-item containers or return containers
Mono-reference containers	Single-item containers
Identical mono-reference containers	Batch of identical single-item containers

Process: System reads all labels on the item/container until user presses "Done" or max reads is reached. If any data is unreadable, system asks for manual entry (except container code in mono-reference flows - requested at end if not read). Operator can press "Skip" at start to fall back to manual reception.

During multi-reading: type and height of container can be selected; stock statuses can be entered.

Parameters:

Parameter	Default	Description
MAX_NUM_LABELS_TO_READ	1	Max barcode readings per item/container. 1 = multi-reading disabled. Min: 1, Max: 30
ALLOW_CREATE_RECEPTION	False	If no receipt found, allow creation of a new receipt from RF (starts without lines; adds stock as received)

Transactions: CON.RECEP (per container), STK.RECEP (per stock line)

ERP: REF message at receipt close

RF Terminal Label Printing

From the RF terminal, operators can print labels on-demand via "Label printing" in the "Utilities" menu. Used for replacement of lost or damaged labels.

Printable objects from RF:

Object	Details
Location label	Print for a specific location; format adapted to props, beams, or individual locations
Container label	Existing container; Code 128 or GS1-128
Delivery note	For prepared or dispatched client containers; includes: shipping order code, recipient name/address, carrier, container code, stock detail (item/quantity/UoM/weight/logistic attributes per line)
Equipment label	Equipment code
Item label	From item master (no stock required at equipment)
Dock/stage label	One or multiple labels for docks/stages; select all or specific ones
Aisle label	Aisle code
Carrier label	Carrier code from carriers master

Configuration: For each print operation, must specify: labeling machine or printer, print format, number of copies.

Automatic Label Printing

Some printing happens automatically without explicit operator action:

Trigger	Label	Configuration
Container arrives at dock/stage with configured printer	Client container label	CLIENT_CONTAINER_LABEL_REPORT parameter + printer assigned to dock/stage
Shipping order closed	Delivery note	OUTBOUND_ORDER_PACKINGLIST_AUTOPRINT = True + printer + report name parameters
ETQ (Labeller) station	Labels applied by labeling machine	Station type 58 in EasyS; no WMS action required

Document & Label Printing Triggers (Full Reference)

This section consolidates every known trigger for each document/label, including the manual menu path, the XML tag (if any) that auto-triggers it from the ERP, and the parameter that selects the report name. A trigger is either manual (menu click), automatic on XML flag (ERP → WMS), or automatic on warehouse event (drop to buffer/dock/stage, order close, etc.).
