Label Extract File Record Definitions

The label extract file record definitions define the format for each label extract file. The label extract file is the output that the PeopleSoft application sends to the label printing software that you use to print the bar-coded labels.

The label extract files contain many field values that you can use in your label print process.

The label extract files are in comma-delimited format.

Each label extract file that contains an item ID also includes control flags that identify characteristics of that item. The control flags can be concatenated to various key fields that are printed as bar codes. For example, suppose that you concatenate the control flags to the item ID on the item storage labels, your electronic data collection system knows what other keys for which to prompt.

Here are the five control flags:

Field or Control	Description
Lot Control Flag	Set to Y if the item is lot-controlled. Set to N if the item is not lot-controlled.
Serial Control Flag	Set to Y if the item is serial-controlled. Set to N if the item is not serial-controlled.
Staged Date Control Flag	Set to Y if the item is staged-date controlled. Set to N if the item is not staged-date controlled.
Actual Cost Control Flag	Set to Y if the item is actual-costed. Set to N if the item is not actual-costed.
Shipping Serial Control Flag	Set to Y if the item is shipping serial-controlled. Set to N if the item is not shipping serial-controlled. The shipping serial control flag is only included on the shipping carton and shipping container transactions.

Note:

The Format ID is an optional field on all of the label extract file records. It is in the first position only if the Include Format check box is selected for the specified format ID.
