• Manufacturing Order Detail (MO Number, MO Line Number)

• Purchase Order Detail (PO Number, PO Line Number)

• Serial/Lot Tracked Item (Item Number, SL Number, Received Date, Expiration Date)

• Shop Operation Number (MO Number, Operation Code)

• Supplier Number

• Work Order Detail (WO Number, WO Line Number)

Label Customization

MISys EXT users can view, modify, and create labels in MISys EXT by navigating to Settings | Printer Settings | Labels tab.

You can use the +NEW button to create a new label. You can modify an existing label by swiping left on that label and clicking Modify. You can preview what a label looks like by tapping on that label.

The labels can be designed using a program called ZebraDesigner 2, which is included on the disk provided with the Zebra printer. When designing labels, MISys EXT is looking for certain placeholders regarding MISys fields. The table below explains which MISys field corresponds to the necessary placeholder in ZebraDesigner 2:

NOTE: You can see this table (along with other information on configuring labels in MISys EXT) in the MISys Client's help (press F1 anywhere in MISys) | Contents tab | MISys Extension (EXT) | MISys EXT - Barcode Printing | MISys EXT - Labels.

Any labels created in MISys EXT would only be pulling data from the MISys database. 

There are 3 ways to print labels in MISys EXT:

1. When you process a PO Receipt, Supplier Receipt, Assemble, or Complete (WO/MO) transaction, MISys EXT will prompt asking if you want to Print a label for that transaction. 

2. You can manually print labels by going to Dashboard | Label Printing | Print tab. Here, you can select a given field and Print a label for that field (e.g. you could select the Item field and select an Item No. and then print a Label for the selected Item No).

3. You can manually print labels from any recent PO Receipt, Supplier Receipt, Assemble, or Complete WO/MO transaction by going to Dashboard | Label Printing | History tab and select a transaction.
