Print labels after receiving

Retailers that label stock can print labels straight from receiving: after you receive a PO, Pedestal offers to queue label print jobs for the received items, sized by what came in. Labels print on your configured label printer using your label template.

Before you start

A label printer is set up in Settings → Devices & Hardware (see “Connect a Zebra label printer”).
A label template exists under Operations → Location Setup → Label Management.

Steps

Receive the PO as usual — See “Receive a purchase order”.
Accept the label print prompt — After receiving, the prompt lists received items and quantities to label.
Send the jobs to the printer — Jobs go to your label printer; the station or print bridge on the same network delivers them.
Spot-check the output — Verify the first few labels' price and barcode before labeling the batch.

Common mistakes

Labeling stock before checking that prices in Pedestal are current — reprints cost time.
Dismissing the prompt, then hand-picking items for labels one at a time later.

Troubleshooting

The label prompt never appeared.

Confirm a label printer and template are configured for the location, then check the label queue for pending jobs.

Jobs queue but nothing prints.

That's a printer-delivery problem — see “Reprint failed labels” and “Printer troubleshooting”.

When to contact support

Label jobs are created but repeatedly fail with printer and network confirmed healthy.
