Printing Product Bar Code Labels in RF

Print bar code labels for all of your inventory. If a new product arrives or is scheduled to pick without a bar code label, either:

Create and generate a bar code label from a terminal using Purchase Order Entry or Product Label Printing.
Create and generate a bar code from the RF gun using the Unverified Label Printing screen.

After you have printed the bar code labels, attach them to your products. Scan the new bar codes into the system and continue with the receiving process.

Printing Product Bar Codes Before Turning on Receiving

Use the Product Label Printing screen to create and print bar codes for all items in your warehouse before initiating the Receive Verify utility.

To print a bar code label for a product before turning on receiving:

From the Whse Mgt > Barcode Labels menu, select Product Barcode Labels to display the Product Label Printing screen.
In the Br/Tr/All field, enter the branch or territory to which the product you are printing labels for belongs, or enter All.
In the Product field, enter a product for which to print bar code labels.

Use the Products hot key to access the Product Selection screen and enter multiple products. Press Esc once you have entered the products. The system displays *Multi* in the Product field.

In the Serial # field, enter the serial number if one exists for the product.

The serial number prints on the bar code label.

In the Prc Line field, enter a price line if you want to print bar code labels for an entire product price line.

Use the Prc Lines hot key to access the Price Line Selection screen and enter multiple price lines. Press Esc once you have entered the products. The system displays *Multi* in the Prc Line field.

The system displays the product’s primary location, which will print on the bar code.

In the Location field, press F10 and select a different location to print for the product, if needed.
In the Label Frmt field, if a format is not already provided, press F10 and select a label format to use for printing the bar codes.

If you enter the user-defined shipping label in the Label Frmt field, the system prints a product label with both the location and product bar codes.

In the Label Qty field, enter the quantity of bar code labels to print.
Use the Print hot key to print the bar codes.
Use the Status hot key to indicate the product status, such as Stock or Non Stock.

Printing Bar Codes for Products During the Receiving Process

Use the Unverified Label Printing screen to access open purchase order (P/O) items. Using the Unverified Label Printing screen, you can print and cross-reference bar codes.

For products without manufacturer bar codes, use the Unverified Label Printing screen to print bar code labels. The system uses the internal product ID as the bar code number.

To print a bar code label for a product during the receiving process:

From the Whse Mgt > RF Applications menu, select Recv Verify to display the Recv Verify screen.
If you cannot scan a bar code or no bar code for the product exists, use the Unverf hot key to display the Unverified Select screen.

On the Unverified Select screen, the system displays the current P/O and its products that have not been received. If necessary, use the Show All hot key to display all in-process P/Os.

Place the cursor next to the product or purchase order for which you want to print the label, and press Enter. The Unverf Label Print screen appears.

The numbers next to each line item indicate the quantity of bar code labels to print based on the quantity from the purchase order.

Print the labels by doing one of the following:

If you want to print all suggested bar codes for all items, use the Prt All hot key to print the bar codes.
If you want to print a different quantity, enter the number of bar code labels to print next to each item. Then use the Print All hot key to print the bar codes.
If you do not want to print bar codes for all line items displayed on the screen, place the cursor next to the line items for which you want to print bar codes and press Enter. Use the Prt All hot key to print the bar codes for the selected line items.

Use the IDs hot keys, as necessary, to display the Product PU Maint screen to cross-reference manufacturers' bar codes with the system.
Press Esc to save changes and exit the screen.

Printing Bar Codes Labels for Products During the Picking Process

As you are picking products, you may find that a universal bin with a location bar code on it has multiple products within the bin that do not have product bar codes. You can print a product label directly from the RF Pick screen for these products. The system uses the label format defined in the RF Picking Label Format control maintenance record.

To print a bar code label for a product during the picking process:

From the Whse Mgt > RF Applications menu, select Picking to display the Pick In Process screen.
In the Br field, edit the branch for which you are picking, if necessary.
Use the Slct hot key to choose an order to pick, as needed.
From the Pick Select screen, use the Labels hot key and select the number of labels you would like to print.
Scan the label for the product and continue with the picking process.
