Print Labels During Release Task in Task UI
To provide more flexibility and control during label printing, in the Task UI, we’ve added a new screen parameter “Print Label” which gives you the option to print labels when Release Task is completed. This new option allows warehouse users more targeted printing options to print labels for picking to specific printers. This option is mainly for cubed OBLPN tasks.
In the Task UI, when you perform Release Task for tasks that are in Held status, the system displays a “Print Label” pop-op, to print LPN labels for the particular Task being released.
Print Label
- When the screen parameter Print Label is set to No, then Release Task will keep the default behavior.
- The Print Label pop-up has the following drop-downs:
| Drop-Down | Function |
|---|---|
| Label Printer | Lists the Label Printers configured in the Printer UI. So, the floor user can select desired printer to print the labels. |
| Doc Printer | Lists the Document Printers configured in the Printer UI. So, the floor user can select desired printer to print the document. |
| Column Ordering Rule | Lists the Column Ordering Rules configured in the Column Ordering UI. Based on the column ordering rule configuration the labels should get printed for the task. |
PRINT LABELS DURING RELEASE TASK USING A REST API
In addition to adding the option to Print Labels during Release Task in the Task UI, we’ve also added this option in the task/release and task/bulk_release APIs.
- By printing LPN labels when the task is being released, you can target printing labels for picking to specific printers.
- When you perform Release Task via the Task/Release API for tasks in Held status, the system should print labels configured in the Column Ordering Rule.
The following parameters are added in both task/release and task/bulk_release API:
| Category | Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| parameter | label_printer_name | string | printer context by name |
| parameter | document_printer_name | string | printer context by name |
| parameter | column_ordering | string | column ordering context by description |
NOTE: When selecting multiple Task of different Task Types like cubed and non-cubed Tasks, the system should display the warning "Multiple Task Types selected, some tasks are not eligible for printing label. Proceed?".
When you click Cancel, the task should still stay in Held status and no labels should be printed.
Steps to Enable
- To enable the Print Label option, go to Modules.
- Search for the “Print Label” parameter in Tasks UI screen.
- Set the Print Label parameter to yes and click Save.
