Print Shipping Labels
Overview
You can use Order Entry to print shipping labels which you can attach to shipments sent from the warehouse or shipping department. The number of labels printed for each order or invoice is the number specified for the order or invoice on the Totals tab of the Order/Invoice Entry form.
Order Entry comes with two labels: one works with 1½" x 4" sheet labels for a laser printer (report file OELABEL.RPT), and the other works with 1½" x 3¾" tractor feed labels (report file OELABELD.RPT).
You can change the shipping labels to suit your needs or create your own labels using the Crystal Reports designer. You should set up and test these forms before you begin entering transactions.
