Acumatiac is one of the most popular and fastest growing cloud ERPs on the market. Its popularity is driven by its flexibility and ability to enhance business operations which boosts customer satisfaction. Its unique, customer-focused model offers unlimited user licensing, full configurability, and an open platform for seamless customization. This is largely due to Acumatica’s interoperability and API usage.
For users, this means that while Acumatica is loaded with many helpful features right out of the box, it behooves end users to add other tools and functions to their system in order to get the most out of their license. One additional feature virtually every Acumatica user can benefit from is document generation – specifically label printing. From ecommerce shops, to drop shippers, retail brands, and manufacturers, the ability to print labels at scale can vastly improve operational efficiencies.
In this article, we’ll show how users can add printing automation and other powerful label printing features seamlessly into their Acumatica build.
Understanding Label Printing in Acumatica
Acumatica supports label printing through its reporting tools, such as Report Designer and Device Hub, which enable businesses to generate and print labels. Users often design labels in Report Designer and print them directly to networked printers. However, limitations arise when businesses require barcode printing, dynamic data mapping, or seamless integration with specialized label printers.
Common challenges with label printing in Acumatica include:
- Limited Design Capabilities: Report Designer is not specifically built for label creation and may lack flexibility in designing complex label formats.
- Manual Processing: Standard printing may require multiple steps, increasing time and reducing efficiency.
- Inconsistent Formatting: Printing to different label printers may result in inconsistent label formatting due to printer-specific settings.
- Lack of Automation: Labels often need to be printed automatically based on specific triggers, such as order fulfillment or inventory movements.
To overcome these challenges, consider a 3rd party printing module. There are a number of popular options such as BarTender or ZebraDesigner, however neither are natively integrated inside Acumatica. That’s why using MarkMagic, from CYBRA, is the easiest way to deploy advanced label printing capabilities inside Acumatica without heavy customizations.
