Printing Storage Labels for a Warehouse Item

You can print storage labels containing bar codes for your warehouse items. These bar-coded labels allow you to use the bar code scanners with mobile devices to identify items when performing physical counts.

Three types of labels can be printed:

•	Bin labels - to label storage bins. You can print labels for the primary storage location, the secondary storage location, or for both locations.

•	Item labels - to label individual items

•	Pack labels - to label packs of items

If you are printing labels for a serialized item, the system prints a separate label to identify each serialized item that is in inventory. This only includes serialized units that have the following statuses:

•

Spare

•	Returned to inventory

•	Awaiting Re-stock

•	Decommissioned

Printer Requirements

The default label reports that come with APM are designed to be printed using a label printer. Generally, these printers accept self-adhesive labels from a continuous-feed roll. In this type of setup, each label is considered a separate page. The label reports provided are designed to print 1 x 4 inch labels.

Bar code label reports have been designed for resource numbers of 10 characters or less (for example, 999-999-999). If you use longer numbers, you may need to customize the label reports to fit the longer bar codes.

This topic explains how to print labels for a single warehouse item. To print bin labels for multiple items in a warehouse, see Printing Bin Labels for a Warehouse.

To Print Storage Labels for a Warehouse Item

1.	In the Site window, select the Resource Management view and then the Inventory tab.

2.	Select the Warehouses tab. This tab shows a list of your site’s warehouses.

3.	Double-click the warehouse that you want to open. APM opens the warehouse’s Stocked Items view.

4.	Find the warehouse item, right-click it, and select Print Storage Labels. The Print Labels dialog appears.

Note: You can select multiple warehouse items to print at the same time. However, the following limitations apply:

•	If you select a choice in the dialog that is not relevant for one of the selected warehouse items, that item is not printed. For example, if one of the warehouse items is serialized and you select to print pack labels, the serialized item does not print.

•

If you select to print pack labels, the pack size entered is printed for all selected items regardless of the pack size on each item. If the pack size for an item is not compatible with the first selected item (for example, an item is measured in liters, but the first item is in inches), that item does not print.

•	If you enter a specific number of item labels printed, the same number is printed for all selected items, regardless of the quantity on hand of that item.

•	Availability of choices in the print dialog are based on the first item selected.

5.	Click OK. The system prints the labels on the selected printer.
