Print Inventory Item Labels
Overview
These instructions are for printing labels such as price tags or bar codes that you can attach to items as you receive them from your suppliers, and to items already in your inventory.
To print labels for the bins or shelves where you store items at your inventory locations, use the Bin/Shelf Labels form.
Before
you start
-
If you want to print labels for items you receive, choose Require Labels when you receive inventory items, and make sure that your receipt detail lines include the number of labels that you need.
Inventory Control automatically generates item labels when you post receipts and then run Day End Processing.

Find out which report file to use for printing labels.
For example, you might have different labels for bar codes and for price tags.
To print item labels:
-
Open Inventory Control > I/C Stock Control Reports > Item Labels.
-
Make your selections in the following fields:
For Each Item [ ]. Use this field to select the items for which you want to print labels.
Use Label.Enter the name of the file (including the file extension) that contains the format for the labels you want to print, or choose the default filename. If you do not know the file name or the location of the file you want to use, click the Browse button to select from the list of directories and files.
If you choose to print labels for each item Received, make your selections.

If you are printing to a printer, Inventory Control displays the Print Destination dialog box to let you confirm your printer selection and change the number of copies to print. Click OK if the settings are correct; otherwise, click Cancel or Setup.
If you are printing to a file, Inventory Control displays the name of the file so you can change it or cancel printing.
If you are printing to the screen (preview), Inventory Control displays the report. If you want, you can then export it to a file or send it to the printer.
