Carrier Labels and Tracking Numbers

With integration between MYOB Acumatica and carriers, you can initiate printing carrier labels for particular packages (boxes) by using the Shipments (SO302000) form. If RMA orders are used in your system, you can also print carrier labels for RMA orders. Labels are generated by the carrier services and are received (through the integration between the carrier and MYOB Acumatica) as images ready for printing. In MYOB Acumatica, labels are printed by using the Carrier Labels (SO645000) report.

Process of Generating Tracking Numbers and Labels

The general process of generating tracking numbers and labels is the following:

1. A user confirms a shipment in MYOB Acumatica.
2. The carrier's service generates a tracking number and a label for each package of a shipment and sends this information to MYOB Acumatica.

   Users can view the generated tracking numbers in the Tracking Number column on the Packages tab of the Shipments form. Labels can be found in the Files column of each shipment line.

3. A user initiates printing labels in MYOB Acumatica by using the Shipments form, as described in To Print a Label.

Configuration of Label Printing

To configure the printing of carrier labels, you do the following:

1. Register file extensions for labels as described in To Register the Label File Extension.
2. Configure printing in one of the following ways:
   • If you use DeviceHub, configure printing as described in Configuring Hardware Devices in DeviceHub.

     In addition, if a carrier you work with uses labels of specific size, you can configure the system so that it uses a particular printer for printing the labels of this carrier. These settings are specified on the User Profile (SM203010) form. For more information, see To Specify Default Printers.

   • If you do not use DeviceHub, you configure printing as described in To Set Up the Printing of Carrier Labels on a Thermal Printer.
