Printing a Label for a Serialized Inventory Unit

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.
