  • Input the stock number or UPC code of the item that you want a new label for into the Stock field and click Find.

    Note: If you use a handheld with a built-in scanner, the Find will get clicked automatically when you scan an item.

  • The following information about the item you are generating a label for will be displayed:
    • Description
      A description of the item.

    • Manf#
      The manufacture’s stock number for the item.
      His
      The date, quantity, and description of the most recent inventory history transaction (that is not from Point of Sale). This field is used when problem solving inventory problems. Here is an eample: You count an item and you determine you only have 1 on the hook. The computer says you have 7 on hand. You look at the history line and see that you received 6 yesterday. The history line helped you discover that you have 6 more, but they were stocked in the wrong location.
    • Retail
      The current retail price of the item.

    • Cost
      The most recent cost of the item.
    • OH

    • Auto Add Checkbox
      Normally, when you scan an item, the info screen appears and then you click on Add to add the item to the Label Maker. If you want records to automatically add after you scan then (as long as they are in the system), check this checkbox.
    • Add Button
      Once you have looking up an item, click this button to add the item to the Label Maker. This button will not appear if the Auto Add checkbox is checked.
    • Look at Labels Button (Magnifying Glass)

    • Navigation Buttons
      Use these buttons to navigate between records. They are: First, Previous, Next, Last, and New. New will add a new record and abort any changes to the record you are currently editing.

Once you are finished inputing records, you can print then using the Label Maker in Substruct Utilities.
