Hotprinting Labels

These options are enabled if label hotprinting is activated on the Inventory Module Control form.

Click the Printer icon on the toolbar to hotprint a label. The Printer icon is enabled if a receipt batch has previously been processed for the shipment. A batch number is always required to hotprint labels and this is not generated for a shipment until the receipt is processed.

Label Printing Menu

When you click the Printer icon, you can select whether to print labels by batch or using the current transaction.

Print Labels by Batch

Select this option to generate labels using the transaction batch. The start and end batch references are set to the transaction batch you are positioned to when you click the Printer icon. Labels print for each matching inventory item contained in this batch reference, based on the label options for each item. If labels are hotprinted from the PO Shipment Entry form, the batch number for the receipt is the reference.

Print Receipt Labels Only

Select this option to generate labels using the individual transaction reference. The start and end transaction references are set to the transaction you are positioned to when you click the Printer icon. Labels print for each matching inventory item contained in this transaction reference, based on the label options for each item.

Note: You can reprint labels for either a batch or individual transaction.

Exceptions

AP Invoice Entry

This form already uses the Printer icon to hotprint buyer-created invoices. An additional menu displays, which you can use to specify what to hotprint. This is enabled if the invoice also has a buyer invoice to be printed.

PO Shipment Entry

The label printing menu is not enabled on the PO Shipment Entry form because the Print by Batch option is always the default. Labels print for the receipt batch for the recalled shipment.

FO Receipt Entry

The label printing menu is not enabled on the FO Receipt Entry form as the Print Receipt Only option is always used by default. Labels print for the receipt transaction reference.

Printer Selection

Labels print to the label hotprint printer defined on the User Preferences form. If no default printer is found, the form enabling you to select a printer displays.
