Operations Menu - Goods Receipt - Print Labels
This page describes the 'Print Labels' function on the
Operations menu in the Goods Receipt record window. If you are using iOS or Android, the 'Print Labels' function is on the Tools menu (with 'wrench' icon).

If you need to print labels for the Items in a Goods Receipt, perhaps because you need to mark Items in the warehouse to connect them to shipments from Suppliers, you can do so using the following methods:
- While entering or inspecting a Goods Receipt, select 'Print Labels' from the Operations menu (Windows/macOS) or Tools menu (iOS/Android).
- If you need to print labels from Goods Receipts in batches, first ensure you are in the Stock module. Then, if you are using Windows or macOS,, click the [Forms] button in the Home Screen or use the Ctrl-D/⌘-D keyboard shortcut. Double-click 'Goods Receipt Labels' in the 'Forms' list window, or highlight it and press the Enter key. If you are using iOS or Android, tap the [Routines] button in the Home Screen and then tap [Forms]. Tap 'Goods Receipt Labels' in the 'Forms' list window. In both cases, enter the Number of the Goods Receipt (or a range of Goods Receipt Numbers) for which labels are to be printed and press [Run].
To specify the Form Template that will be used when you print labels from Goods Receipts, follow these steps using Windows or macOS (not iOS or Android):
- Design the label Form Template using the Form Template register in the System module. Use the 'Properties' function on the Operations menu to name the Form Template (in this description, we have used the name "PUR_LABEL") and to assign it a Form Type of "Goods Receipt Labels". A full list of the fields you can include in the Template design can be found here.
A file containing samples of each Form Template including a sample "PUR_LABEL" is supplied with Standard ERP: if you want to use these samples as templates for your own designs, import the "UKForms.txt" file as described on the Importing Set-up Data page.
- Having designed the label Form Template, you should now specify that it should be used when printing labels from Goods Receipts. Select the Stock module using the [Select Module] button in the Home Screen or the Ctrl-0 (Windows and Linux) or ⌘-0 (macOS) keyboard shortcuts.
- Click the [Forms] button in the Home Screen, or use the Ctrl-D/⌘-D keyboard shortcuts. The 'Forms' list window is opened: highlight 'Goods Receipt Labels'.
- Select 'Define Form' from the Operations menu (with "cog" icon):
- In the subsequent 'Form Definition' window, enter "PUR_LABEL" in the Form Template field in the first row (you can use 'Paste Special' to ensure the spelling is correct).
- Click [Save] to save the Goods Receipt label form definition. From now on, the Form Template that you have designed will be used when you print Goods Receipt Labels using either of the methods listed at the beginning of this section.
