Maintain Tickets and Labels

Items generally have tickets or labels affixed to them in the store. While shoppers may note the price and size, sales clerks may glean quite a bit of additional information from the tickets and labels. An item may have multiple tickets and labels.

You can choose what information is printed on tickets and labels and under what circumstances they should be automatically printed. When necessary, you can choose to print tickets on demand. Ticket requests are transmitted to an external ticketing system for printing.

Before you can use tickets and labels, you must add the types of tickets to the system. After entering a unique ID and description for a ticket type, you choose which attributes of an item are to be printed on the ticket type. You also indicate whether the ticket type is a shelf edge label. If the ticket type is a shelf edge label, only one label per request is printed.

After the ticket types are defined, you can associate one or more ticket types with an item. You can associate ticket types with multiple items by using an item list.

At this point, you indicate the circumstances under which tickets are automatically printed. The circumstances are:

  • When a purchase order is approved

  • When an order is received

  • When a permanent price change takes effect.

If you use an item list, the ticket types that you add to the item list supersede existing ticket types associated with the items on the item list. A message appears requesting if the same ticket types to any subordinate level items.

Should the need arise, you can request tickets on demand. The request may be for a single item, items on an item list, or items on a purchase order. Requests may be edited until the tickets are printed.

Ticket Items Window [ticket]

The Ticket Items window allows you to enter what type of information must be printed on the ticket. You can choose from two types of information:

  • Attributes: System-defined characteristics of an item. For example, you can specify that the department, class, subclass, and retail price be printed on tickets.

  • User Defined Attributes: User-defined characteristics of an item. For example, you can indicate that a user-defined date, free-form text, or value be printed on tickets.
