Freight Labels

These are special freight labels that can be attached 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, a Delivery must be specified: this field cannot be left 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 the last option is used, the number of Labels printed is 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".
