Templates
Labels › Label Templates sets how a label looks:
- Label size: rolls (50 x 25, 38 x 25, 40 x 30, 57 x 32, 60 x 40, 100 x 50, 4 x 6 in ...), two or three across on one roll, A4 sticker sheets (65, 40 or 24 labels) and US Letter sheets (30, 10 or 80 labels), or a custom size.
- Paper, Labels down, margins and gaps for sheets - measure your sticker sheet, and print one on plain paper first.
- Barcode type: Code 128 (as before), Automatic (EAN / UPC when the product's code is one), EAN-13, UPC-A or a QR code.
- Printer adjustment: move the print right or down by a few mm if it lands off the sticker.
- Fields to print: name, price, weight, packed date, expiry, best before, batch, veg / non-veg, licence number, rack (Pharmacy pack) and your own lines.
Batch & expiry come from
With batches & expiry on, a template chooses where the batch and expiry come from:
- Stock batch: the supplier's batch number, expiry and MRP from the purchase. For packed goods and medicines.
- In-house packing: the print number as the batch, expiry = packed date + days. For bakery, sweets and your kitchen.
- Labels › Print Labels, pick the template, add products.
- With a Stock batch template, each product gets a Batch list (first to expire first). Picking one sets its expiry, MRP and the copies to how many are left in it.
- Press Generate & Print Labels.
Print labels on a committed purchase (Purchases, then the purchase) adds exactly what arrived, with the right batch and copies.
Labels › Print History keeps every print to reprint.
