Rules-Based Label Template Selection for Receiving and Picking Transactions

In previous WMS releases, the Label Rules Engine enabled you to select label designer templates based on user-defined rules. This is controlled using various selections of column names/values or by order-specific attributes. So, supported transactions triggered the printing of your configured label designer template.

Now, we’ve increased the scope of the Label Rules Engine to support even more RF transactions and APIs as trigger points for printing labels.

To handle the printing of Price Labels, UOM Case Labels and UOM Pack Labels, WMS is enhanced further with an improved selection criteria and logic for label template selection/printing. Depending on the label type, the selection criteria sports the relevant column names. For example in case of an Inbound LPN label, you will be displayed a detail context that is related to inbound columns/fields. But for an outbound LPN label, the columns would be more related to allocation and outbound related fields.

The following receiving transactions are now supported for configuring label printing via the Label Rules Engine:

  • Receive LPN Shipment (rf.inbound.cwrfrecvlpnshpmt)
  • Receive LPN Load (rf.inbound.cwrfrecvlpnload)

The list of supported APIs that can be used for printing labels via the Label Rules Engine are:

  • Print LPN Label API (supported for Inbound LPN Label Type only)
  • Print Pallet Label API (supported for both Inbound and Outbound Pallet)

Additionally, the following RF screens/transactions are now supported, for determining templates for printing, through Label Rules Engine:

  • RF IBLpn Pick for Consol Replen (rf.inbound.cwrfpickiblpnreplen)
  • RF - Sort and Receive (rf.inbound.cwrfsortandrecv)
  • Outbound Audit (rf.outbound.cwrfauditlpnplt)
  • Post Packing OBLPN updates and handling (rf.outbound.cwrfpostpackinglpnhandling)
  • Pack NC Active {order} (rf.outbound.cwrfpackncactiveorder)
  • Repack OBLPN (rf.outbound.cwrfrepackoblpn)
  • Create {lpn} (rf.inbound.cwrfcreatelpn)
  • RF Direct Allocation (rf.outbound.cwrfdirectallocation)
  • Combine OBLPN (rf.outbound.cwrfcombineoblpn)
  • Pack OBLPN from IBLPNs (rf.outbound.cwrfpackoblpnfromiblpn)
  • Pick {iblpn} (rf.outbound.cwrfpickiblpn)
  • Distribute {oblpn} (rf.outbound.cwrfdistributelpn)
  • Print Invoice and Label (rf.outbound.cwrfprintinvoicelbl)
  • Update OB LPN (rf.outbound.cwrfupdateoblpn)
  • Palletize (rf.inbound.cwrfpalletizeplt)
  • Split Container (rf.inbound.cwrfsplitcntr)
  • Full LPN picking/Pack {oblpn} (rf.outbound.cwrfpacklpn)
