Price label printing for SAP Business One: the shelf matches the invoice.
Shelf and product labels generated from SAP Business One® item and price data, printed where the stock is. When a price changes, the labels it made wrong are listed with their locations.

The path
From the price list to the shelf
Five steps, and the first one is the whole argument: the price is read, never retyped.
- SAP Business OneItem · Price list
- TemplateSize and layout
- Print queueBatch · Station
- Label printerZebra or similar
- Shelf edgeMatches the till
The common failure is a labelling tool that keeps its own price file. It works until somebody changes a price in the ERP and forgets to change it in the label tool, and then the shelf and the till disagree in front of a customer.
Templates
One label per job, not one label for everything
A shelf strip, a label on the product and a promotional tag are different sizes carrying different fields. Pick one to see it.
Every field on the label is a field in SAP Business One. Nothing is typed into the label tool.

After a price change
Which labels are wrong, and where they are
A price update in SAP Business One is the moment your shelf edge becomes inaccurate. The tool that knows about it is worth more than the one that prints nicely.
Triggered by SAP Business One
The queue builds from the price list change itself, not from somebody remembering.
Located, not just listed
Each item carries its shelf position, so one person walks one aisle.
Counted
You know how many labels before you start, which is how you decide when to do it.

The rest of it
Prices from the price list
The label carries the price SAP Business One would charge, from the price list you nominate. Not a number somebody typed into a label tool.
Barcodes from the item
The item's own barcode, so what the shelf label scans as is what the till rings up.
Templates per label type
Shelf edge, product, promotional and batch labels, each with its own size and layout, set up once.
Batch printing
A whole aisle, a category, a delivery or a promotion in one run, rather than one label at a time.
Promotional pricing
Period prices with the previous price shown, and labels that revert when the promotion ends.
Reprint after a price change
When a price changes in SAP Business One, the labels it affected are listed with their shelf locations. This is the feature that pays for the tool.
The wider architecture
What sits behind the shelf edge
Labels are the last step of a chain. These are the rest of it.

Bring one aisle and a price change.
The demonstration worth watching is a price moving in SAP Business One and the reprint queue filling with exactly the labels it broke.
