Job Labeling [WIP031]

This module allows you to setup a number of different label templates that can be printed from a central location before a job card is released to the floor.

This is helpful when the manufacturing plant have multiple systems in various planning departments that create product, carton and pallet barcoded labels for each manufactured job that is released on the floor.

These labels are not TrackIDs and do not affect any inventory holding records. It is only identification labels that can be applied to stock during the manufacturing process. It’s generally used to print standard carton labels that are packed with the Job’s SYSPRO factory documentation and then handed over to the floor staff. The operators will then place these carton labels on every finished product’s carton as it is filled.

These carton labels works well, as the Job number, parent stock code and description can be printed on the label, including a standard pack size (Pan size) Any of the fields can be set as a barcode on the label and when these pallets move through a central Job receiving area these barcodes can be used to drive the DATASCOPE WMS Job Receipt process. This is where the Job receipt is processed and the pallet label (TrackID) is printed.
