Numbering boxes using GLM label (ie 1 of 3)

[Former Member]

Hello all,

     I am trying to design a label template for products with multiple boxes( 1 of 3, 2 of 3, etc). Does SAP give us this functionality? Pretty new to the GLM world so any explanations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello Brian,

Please use following code in wwi for the output .

<02ehs_serno1>@td_lblsrn(id=02ehs_serno1)

For some reasons I am also not able to get the output but it is suppose to give output . Please reply if your issue has been resolved

Hi S P,

I did a small test in a ECC 606 with GLM+ and WWI SP33.

Template looks like:

The Manual Print Dialog is recognizing the serial number and shows the serial number in the sub screen:

and the preview looks like:

The end serial number is always 1 in the preview.

Could you pls. try to use upper case for the TAG.

Regards,

You can see setting for serial number generation provided in SAP GLM section. This has a disadvantage because label template will be generated for each label since the serial number is different. This number setting can setup on the printers itself. label printers have this configuration settings.

Hi Brian,

I understand from you that you need an end serial number. This shall be possible with the following tag:

@TD_SRNEND(ID=02EHS_SERNO0)

The ID must reference to the serial number, e.g.:

<02EHS_SERNO0>@TD_LBLSRN(ID=02EHS_SERNO0)

You have to use those TAGS in the WWI template.

Thank you!

This is very close to giving me what I'm looking for. Next problem is it begins at 0. "0 of 3". Know how to start the count at 1?

[michael_hofer]

I am bit surprised as the standard starts with 1.

In the Manual Print Dialog (CBGL_MP01) is on the right hand side a screen to initialize the values for for the serial numbers (Start, Increment and Repeat).

Could you see the serial number in that subscreen? If yes, which value is used for the start value? If you cannot see, there must be an issue with the syntax of the report symbol in the template or the maybe an old version of the report body that is not having the serial number.

You have to doublick on the label in the label tree to update the subscreen.

Dear Brian

Label templates are prepared using WWI technique. WWI technique is based on WinWord and here you can do nearly "all" what you might look for.

As you are new to GLM (and therefore layout topic) maybe check:

May be read cross: http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-45645 and links provided there. May be might help as well.

PLease explain "better" what you are looking for as your "header" and the content not not match 100%.

Do we talk about the "GHS" symbols there you have a "problem"?

By hazard I fond thes pages (some are german). Any "document" you can see here can be generated by using WWI technique.

Christoph,

Thank you for the quick reply. I also appreciate the links, I will be sure to read through all of them.

I am looking to print a batch of labels and have the total amount along with a count for each label.

Example: If I print 3 labels I would like them to say "1 of 3", "2 of 3", and "3 of 3".

Was hoping there was a report in WWI that did this for me. Again thank you very much for the response and reading materials.

Dear Brian

mmh,... may be check: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_06/helpdata/en/3e/c762511d6c8d23e10000000a441470/content.htm?framese...

Please check subtopic: sequence number; NUmber of printed copies

Check as well: http://scn.sap.com/community/ehs-management/blog/2013/09/27/new-changes-for-glm-in-ehp70-and-erp-60

One again topic of sequence numbes

With higher releaes of SAP you have more options in SAP EH&S GLM. I do not "understand" your business demand completely. Can you provide a hint why this numbering might be needed? To a certain extent I understand the demand but why should the customer read something like "1 of 10"? What "benefit" does he/she has?  For internal processes this might be needed but I am not sure about that as this is handled different by any company.

What I understood now is: if you print (or would like to print a label) you "now" normally the number of labels needed (as this is part of the label determination process). And If you would like to print the "same" label (label type...) you would like to get the number 1 of X to be printed on the label

May be check: http://scn.sap.com/thread/3367499 as well.

Personally I believe you can handle this topic but i have no experience in how to get this result.
