Barcode Label Printing

You can print barcode labels for items, subinventories, and locators to affix in the appropriate places within your warehouse or stockroom so users can easily scan the information when performing a transaction.

Here are the highlights of printing barcode labels:

• You can print item, location, and delivery labels using the template layout defined in Oracle BI Publisher. Alternatively, you can print item, location, and delivery labels using an external printing application by listening to the business event generated when a print label request is submitted.
• You can print Item and delivery labels while receiving goods using a mobile device. For items, select the item label to print only item information, the lot label to include both the item and lot information, and the serial label to include both the item and serial information. Specify the name of the printer responsible for label printing and utilize Oracle BI Publisher to configure the printer. Additionally, indicate the desired number of labels to print.
• You can print item labels whileputting away goods using a mobile device.
• You can print ad-hoc item and location labels using the Print Inventory Labels scheduled process.

Print Inventory Labels

This table describes the parameters for the Print Inventory Labels scheduled process.

The labels are printed using Oracle BI Publisher's predefined template layouts by default. Here are the navigation paths to access the seeded reports:

• Delivery Label Report: /Shared Folders/SupplyChain Management/Warehouse Operations/Receipts
• Item Label Report: /Shared Folders/SupplyChain Management/Warehouse Operations/Inventory
• LocationLabelReport: /Shared Folders/SupplyChain Management/Warehouse Operations/Inventory.

Alternatively, you can print labels through an external printing application by listening to the business event generated when a print label request is submitted.

• Use the Manage Inventory Business Event Configurations task to enable the business event.
  • Business Event Name: Print Label Request Event
  • Description: Signals that a label request is created for the external system to print the labels.
  • Event Payload:
    • OrganizationID
    • PrintHeaderId
    • PrintLabelType
• Use Oracle Integration Cloud Service to listen to the Print Label Request Event, call the Print Label Requests REST API to retrieve the print request details, and map and invoke the external printing application's web service to print labels.

Note: To print labels through an external printing application, use the Manage Inventory Business Event Configurations task from the Setup and Maintenance work area.
