Freight Labels

These are special freight labels that you can attach to parcels to identify a particular Delivery.

Double-click 'Freight Labels' in the 'Documents' list and, when the 'Specify Freight Labels' window appears, enter a Delivery Number or a range of numbers separated by a colon. Unusually, you must specify a Delivery: you cannot leave this field blank. Click [Run] to start printing.

You can print one Freight Label for each Delivery, one for each row in each Delivery or one for each Item. If you use the last option, the number of Labels printed will be determined by the quantity delivered.

When using the One per Item Row or One per Item options, you can prevent the printing of labels for certain Items. To do so, place these Items in an Item Group whose Do Not Print Freight Labels for this Group is switched on. This is useful for Service Items such as labour.

You can also prevent Freight Labels being printed for Deliveries with particular Delivery Modes. To do this, check the Do Not Print Freight Labels option in the Delivery Mode record, using the setting in the Sales Orders module.

For hints on label design, including the printing of static text on your labels (i.e. text that identifies the information on the labels, such as "Item Name"), please follow the instructions on the page describing the Item Label document. The Form to be amended has the Code "FREIGHT_LABEL".
