Article Link: http://help.truecommerce.com/en/articles/10824086-transaction-manager-defaulting-the-labeling-configurations
When dealing with UCC-128 Labels inside of Transaction Manager you need to configure the Labeling group located under the Main Tab of each Advance Ship Notice (856) that you are sending to your Trading Partner in order to allow for Labels to print appropriately.
If you would like to default your Label Settings to a specific configuration that will be used on all newly created transactions - you can do use using the Template system within Transaction Manager. Reducing the need to set it for every Transaction you create.
Defaulting the Labeling Configuration
To default the Labeling setting you simply need to set it within your Advance Ship Notice (856)'s Template settings.
Navigate: Trading Partners → (Trading Partner) → Preferences → Transactions
Locate: The active outbound Advance Ship Notice (856) you are sending to your Trading Partner
Select: Single click the desired Transaction
Select: Template at the top within the blue action bar.
Navigate: Main tab
Set: Labeling Settings
Save
Finding Your Transaction
Most every Trading Partner has multiple Advance Ship Notice (856) transactions listed - since a unique Transaction Map is required for the many different configurations that your Trading Partner may accept.
There are a few ways to help narrow down which outbound Transaction you are utilizing.
Active
One of the easiest ways to identify which outbound map you're utilizing for this Trading Partner is to simply look at the Active checkboxes underneath the Status sub-screen.
Any Transaction not checked will automatically be disabled preventing its usage, whether you're attempting to Import, Turn Around, or create it manually.
Navigate: Trading Partner → (Trading Partner) → Preferences → Transactions
Select: Status
Check: Active column is checked
It is typical for TrueCommerce to disable any non-used Transaction during implementation for ease of use
Import Document Type
If you have multiple Advance Ship Notice (856) active but not sure which you may be using - but you are importing your Advance Ship Notices from a Business System such as QuickBooks, NetSuite, or Acumatica - then you can easily identify which is being utilized by your Business System specifically by looking to see which has an Import Document Type set.
Navigate: Trading Partner → (Trading Partner) → Preferences → Transactions
Select: Integration
Check: Check Import Document Type column is set
If your Import Document Type is set - but the Transaction 'Active' status is unchecked. This Transaction is disabled
Automation
If you are utilizing our Automation functionality to automatically turnaround an inbound Transaction (such as your Purchase Order) into an Advance Ship Notice (856) without processing it inside your Business System then you can see which is configured under the Auto-Create Transaction setup, as the Auto-Create Transaction column will list the Transaction's Name that it is creating automatically.
Navigate: Trading Partner → (Trading Partner) → Preferences → Transactions
Select: Automation
Check: Auto-Created Transaction column dropdown
Defaulting Your Labeling Settings
Once you've identified your Outbound Advance Ship Notice (856) you can simply select it under the Status, Integration, or Translations tab and then select Template on the blue action bar.
Once inside the Template you can locate the Labeling option under the Main tab and set the three following configuration dropdowns
Configuration | Purpose |
Use TrueCommerce Label Solution | Yes/No option box to enable/disable TrueCommerce labeling.
|
Ship To Type | Store/Distribution Center option box that determines if Ship To information is pulled from the Store address information or the Distribution Center address information on the Transaction.
|
Label Type | Determines the structure of the Label Printing based on Advance Ship Notice (856) structure
|
Fields will remain Red within the Template - as Red simply indicates this field is Required
