Printing Labels from Advanced Manufacturing Production Reporting Transaction

Question

We use the Advanced Manufacturing Tablet for reporting our production completion.  Currently, the operator needs to move to an independent label software to print the carton and pallet labels for that transaction.  Is there anyway to trigger a print of a label from the Advanced Manufacturing Tablet Entry or the creation of the AM Production Result record?

Hi Elizabeth!

Are you referring to the Work Order Traveler? You can confirm this by checking SuiteAnswers ID: 99189 Generating a Work Order Traveler, which provides instructions on generating a Work Order Traveler. This is the only available documentation for printing with Advanced Manufacturing, and you may find the related articles helpful for additional context.

Regarding your main question: No, NetSuite does not natively support triggering label printing directly from the Advanced Manufacturing Tablet or upon the creation of an AM Production Result record. However, there are ways to achieve this:

* Customization: You can use a script, such as a User Event script or a Workflow with SuiteScript, that integrates with your label printing software. This requires some development effort but is a viable option.
* Third-Party Solutions: Alternatively, you could explore third-party applications or integrations designed specifically for label printing in NetSuite.

Feel free to choose the approach that best fits your needs!
