SCM Mobile Printing

From the mobile app, you can send print requests online to your local printer. Depending on the features you use, SCM Mobile provides preconfigured templates for printing the following documents or reports:

• For Warehouse Management, you can print item and pallet labels, as well as pick carton labels.

  You can set up WMS to print labels with a GS1 DataMatrix item bar code that contains specific item details.

  For more information, see Mobile Printing for NetSuite WMS.

• For Ship Central, you can print carton, pallet, shipping, and return labels. You can also print packing lists and packing or shipping documents.

  You can set up Ship Central to print these documents with 2D Data Matrix bar codes for carton IDs, pallet IDs, or bill of lading numbers. You can print pack lists and the BOL with an SSCC-18 code in GS1 linear format.

  For shipping labels, you can include a default logo, shipment references, and brand name for printing.

  For more information, see Labels and Documents for Ship Central and Printing Labels and Documents for Shipping.

SCM Mobile with PrintNode

Oracle NetSuite integrates with PrintNode, a third-party provider of hosted printing services. Through computers installed with the PrintNode client, PrintNode can access your network printers. You can submit your print requests from the app through PrintNode, which manages the requests and routes them to the appropriate printers.

Mobile Printing Requirements

Before you begin your setup, make sure that the following requirements are met:

• Active PrintNode account and valid PrintNode API key

  For PrintNode requirements, you can visit the home page at https://www.printnode.com.

• Printers configured for network printing

  Note:

  Make sure your printer drivers are up to date.

• Local computers installed and set up with the PrintNode client software

  The PrintNode client detects the printers from a local computer and syncs them with their servers and your PrintNode account. From your PrintNode client, you can track and view the status of your printers.

• If you use ZPL printers for Ship Central, choose the following printing preferences when you print labels:

  • Page size – 4 x 6 in

  • Orientation – Portrait

  • Printing position – 0.00 in (no offsets)

• Advanced PDF/HTML Templates feature enabled on your NetSuite account

  See Enabling Features for NetSuite WMS.

Mobile Printing Setup Procedures

If you set up Mobile Printing for Warehouse Management, you can use the same settings for Ship Central. Verify that your printing and printer settings for Warehouse Management apply to Ship Central.

You can complete the following procedures to set up Mobile Printing for Warehouse Management or Ship Central.

1. For your SCM mobile settings, check the Enable Mobile Printing box. See Configuring SCM Mobile App Settings.

2. Configure your PrintNode API key and IP addresses of computers installed with the PrintNode client. See Configuring Security Settings.

   Note:

   If you have configured Mobile Printing for Warehouse Management and you want to set up Mobile Printing for Ship Central, you do not have to re-enter your PrintNode API key.

3. Verify that all the printers you want to use appear in your account. For each printer, assign a printer type to differentiate between label and regular printers. See Setting Up Your Printers.

4. For NetSuite Ship Central, make sure that you set your preferences for international and local shipping labels, default logo, and return labels for local shipments. You can also activate the rule for brand names. See Printing Labels and Documents for Shipping.

5. If you want to create your own custom templates for labels or documents, see Creating Custom Print Templates and Files.

6. Assign a default printer, template, and number of copies for labels or documents you want to print. If you create a custom template and file, you can assign it as the default template for printing. You can set up these default settings in a print report type. See Setting Up Printing Settings on Print Reports.

   On print report types, you can also add rules to specify which printers or templates to use for a label or document. You can also add rules to apply conditions for the number of copies. See Configuring Rules for Printers, Templates, or Number of Copies.

7. (Optional) You can change the default printing mode to automatic and required for each label or document you want to print. If you want to exclude a label or document from printing, you can inactive the associated print report. You can assign these printing modes for your custom templates too. See Setting Up Automatic or Required Printing.

If you encounter setup or printing errors, see Troubleshooting Mobile Printing.
