Understanding Label Information

The system and third parties can exchange detailed carton information that describes the physical shipment. Third parties must send inbound label information describing the physical shipment such as label serial number, relationship of packaging (such as cartons on a pallet), and carton type.

You generate outbound label data from system tables to a third-party for formatting and printing. The outbound label information includes the Ship To address, EDI data and demand scheduling data, such as the supplier or plant code (Party Type 1 and 2).

You can produce label output as follows:

• From demand scheduling by using CUM Maintenance (P40R12)

• From Carton Detail Inquiry if the carton detail has been created from carton recommendations or other methods

• From Sales Order Entry if you are not using demand scheduling

  Note: If you specify output for a carton or sales detail, the label data is for the entire shipment.

Then the third-party labels, stages or builds pallets, assigns labels to shipments and performs tasks such as label verification during scanning.

The third-party sends data generated from the label process back to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system. The system stores the label data in the F4620 table. This table must be updated with accurate information from the physical shipment, because the system uses this information to create packaging information on the ASN and the Bill of Lading.

Through shipment carton reconciliation you can use scanning to verify that the shipment item quantity matches the carton detail item quantity, and then correct discrepancies.

You can add or update label serial numbers that are unusable because of errors or damages in packaging. The system uses the Unusable Label Numbers table (F4622) to process unusable label information.
