Print Program and Smartform development for PUTAWAY LABELs

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am working on a development for developing a smartform for printing PUTAWAY labels during GR.

I have worked earlier on smartforms but only for letters and not label priniting.

Can anyone explain what are the major differences when deevloping a smartform for LABELS opposed to normal letters/documents.

Also is there any standard print program for printing putaway labels in Warehouse management module from where the label prinitng will be triggered?

Has anyone worked on similar development?Please share their experiences.Any links/related threads will be useful.

I am somehow not able to search on SDN for related threads.

Thanks.

no substantial difference in printing to labels instead of 'normal' documents.

Sometimes you may need to send Zebra commands or print controls (e.g. roatating). I developed an inbound label and print program from scratch. All you need is to use FM 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' to get the function module for your smartform. Pass the values that you would like to the SF and design the form as normal.

One thing... I don't think the page format (e.g. DINA4) has any impact on Label printers (well, not for Zebra anyway). Ensure the printer settings are correct on the printer itself too.

I just had one question.....In my label i need to display some fields and 1 BARCODE.The BAR CODE is a combination of 2 fields .I need to know ,how will the BAR code be displayed in smart formprint preview?Will it be in form of lines??

yes - it will show a barcode, similar to what is printed.

Thanks.

But how is the bAR code displayed inform of lines/?

In the node for BAR CODE,do I need to specify the bar code style or jst mentioning it in the fomr attributes is enough?

HI Ram,

I too have similar requirement.

What is the print program name for this?

I would like to copy the RTCHECKL or RLE _DELNOTE and do necessary modifications.

My requirement is: I/p : delivery number

Output: putaway label details: del no, pick area, fixed bin, etc, (LIPS , LAGP, T30AT, MLGT) tables.

Could you pls let me know how did you handled printprogram i.e, you have utilized any SAP standard print program or you created entire new custom print program?

If you use the new Zebra device types, you no longer have to write ZPL commands.

You can also take advantage of the new barcode technology.

The forms can be developed in SmartForms and sent to any Zebra printer even if they use different DPIs.

Google "Zebra Printers and SAP Smart Forms" for a PDF document that guides you step by step on developing the SmartForm label in SAP for Zebra printers.

OSS notes 750772 and 750002 provide additional information.

The standard print program is RLVSDR40. It should not have to be modified or copied.

You can use transaction OMLV to examine the WM output configuration. It lists this program as standard and also has standard forms.
