Customer labels are typically centered on the following major requirements:
Label format
Label data
Bar code specifications
Symbol content
Oracle Warehouse Management labeling features enable all of these requirements to work together to meet customer guidelines. It supports the following label types:
Materials label: Provides information about an item, including the item's lot information, if applicable.
Serial label: Provides information that is specific to a serial of an item.
LPN label: Provides information about the License Plate Number (LPN). This label does not contain content information. You typically use the LPN label to identify LPNs as they travel throughout the warehouse.
LPN Contents label: Provides information about the LPN contents. You typically use this label to identify LPNs as they travel throughout the warehouse.
LPN Summary label: Provides information about the LPN and a summary view of the LPN contents. If an LPN contains multiple LPNs, then all of the contents of all the nested LPNs are summed by item, revision, and lot.
Location label: Provides information about specific warehouse locators.
Shipping label: Provides information for an outbound shipment. It does not include information about the contents of the shipment. It includes only addresses and information that is pertinent to the shipment itself.
Shipping Contents label: Provides information about outbound shipment. It includes information about all of the contents that are part of the shipment.
WIP Content label: Provides information about the WIP components that are picked for a WIP job. It includes component number, serial, lot, job number, assembly number, and start date.
Flow Content label: Provides information about flow components. It includes the component number, serial, lot, job number, assembly number, and start date.
Dispense Pallet label: Provides information about a pallet. It includes batch information, batch completion information, quantity, and formula information.
Process Dispense Material label: Provides information about dispensed material. It includes the organization, batch number, batch step number, security tag, dispense number, dispense quantity, dispense UOM, and return to stock quantity.
Process Material label: Provides information about material remaining from the dispense operation. It includes weight, container, dispensing type, and hazard class information.
Process Product label: Provides information about a finished product. It includes batch information, batch completion information, quantity, and formula information.
Process Sample label: Provides information about a product sample.
WIP Move Contents: Provides information about the attributes associated with a WIP move transaction. You print this label type when you perform a move transaction within the Oracle Manufacturing Execution System (MES).
If you selected LPN, LPN Contents, or LPN Summary as the label type, you can create Electronic Product Code (EPC) information for the label. Some retailers require EPC information from their supplier. Oracle Warehouse Management models EPCs after LPNs. You can generate EPCs while LPNs are completed, packed, or staged.
