How to Configure Label Printing by Unit Conversion Factors in Barcode Label Printing?
In this tutorial, we will learn how to configure Units for Labels in Logic ERP's Barcode Label Printing module. This option allows you to control whether barcode labels are printed based on the total item quantity or the defined pack quantity.
Access to the Configuration
Navigate to the Barcode Label Printing module.
Open the Configuration section.
Locate the option labeled as:
"Units for Labels"
Available Parameters
The "Units for Labels" option provides two parameters:
Quantity: Prints barcode labels according to the total quantity of the item.
Pack: Prints barcode labels according to the number of packs defined for the item.
Let's explore both options one by one.
Set Units for Labels to Quantity
Set "Units for Labels" to Quantity.
Save the configuration changes.
Print Barcode Labels
Select the required Purchase Voucher for which you want to print the barcode.
Select the required item from the voucher.
Click Create.
The Barcode Printing Design Selection window will appear.
Click Yes to print the barcode directly.
Click No to open the Barcode Design window.
Select No.
Click the Open button.
Select the required barcode from the available list.
Click Print Preview to preview the barcode before printing.
Alternatively, if you do not want to preview the barcode, you can directly click Print to print it.
Result
The print preview displays 10 barcode labels for the item.
This means that when Units for Labels is set to Quantity, the system prints one barcode label for each unit.
Set Units for Labels to Pack
Return to the Barcode Label Printing Configuration window.
Set "Units for Labels" to Pack.
Save the configuration changes.
Print Barcode Labels
Select the same Purchase Voucher.
Select the required item.
Click Create.
Open the barcode design and preview the labels.
Result
The print preview displays 1 barcode labels for the item.
Understand Pack-Wise Calculation
Let's take a quick look at the same Purchase Voucher to understand how the system calculates the quantity.
The voucher shows a pack quantity of 1.
Each selected pack contains 10 units.
Therefore, the total quantity is calculated as:
1 Packs × 10 Units = 10 Units
System Behavior
When Units for Labels = Quantity, the system prints 10 barcode labels, representing 10 individual units.
When Units for Labels = Pack, the system prints 1 barcode labels, representing 1 packs.
Key Benefits
Flexible Label Printing: Print labels based on quantity or pack.
Accurate Pack-Wise Printing: Generates labels according to the defined pack quantity.
Reduced Manual Work: Automatically calculates the required number of labels.
Better Inventory Handling: Supports both unit-wise and pack-wise barcode labeling.
Final Outcome
After configuring "Units for Labels", Logic ERP allows you to control barcode label printing based on either the total item quantity or the defined pack quantity. This provides greater flexibility and accuracy while generating barcode labels.
