Trace Label Generation

Important Notices:

Traceability can be enabled at the company, warehouse, and item level.  If it is disabled at any level the item is considered not traceable.

Trace labels are generated through receiving transactions (Purchase Orders or Receiving).  To view the Questions button on a purchase order you must be in Receive mode (click the Rec PO button).

Generally Transaction levels should be answered first (by clicking the Questions button), so that transaction level information will be available if desired on labels.

Unanswered required questions will prevent a receiving transaction from posting, but will not interfere with receive processing.

If GS1-128 Labels are disabled all barcodes will contain only the trace id number.

If GS1-128 Labels are enabled each item must have a valid UPC / GTIN number.

Select the item to be received by clicking on the description in the item list.

The Trace# will default to the first trace# for the item, if multiple trace#'s exist the user can toggle between then using left or right arrow on the keyboard.

UOM can be set to CS for Case or EA for each.

For catch weight items the quantity must be set to 1 to generate a label with a weight, if the quantity is set other than 1 the labels will print without a weight.
