Reference - Labeling / General Labeling LAB004

The General Labeling module is a handy, standalone program within WMS that you can use for the general Labeling of items in your warehouse.

This module does NOT create unique TrackID labels but is a Labeling tool you can use anytime to produce barcoded labels for stock items that may be missing a label.

As various WMS screens provide the option to scan with the scanner, generating barcoded labels for any product you wish to scan makes a lot of sense.

No third-party Labeling software is required with a WMS installation.
