The UCC bar code shipping label can be used to capture the contents of a shipment. Dancik provides several UCC label formats. If a customized UCC label style is not associated with a customer (through the Billto File or Customer Preference File), the default label, shown below, is used when a label is printed.
Configuring UCC label Formats for Specific customers
UCC Labels and UCC Cartonization Program
UCC Labels can be printed from the following areas of the system.
Warehouse Menu (WAR)
Option 5 - Update Order Status

Configuring UCC label Formats for Specific customers
Labels are assigned to customers via the following fields and files:
The Chain field of the Billto file - This three-character code defines the account as being part of a chain store or account group. Separate account numbers that are part of the same chain should all be assigned the same chain code. For example, all Target stores should be assigned chain code TAR.
Preferred UCC/EAN-128 Label Format field of the Customer Preferences File (FIL 38)- This field identifies the actual shipping label to use. The label code entered in this field should be one established in the Label Styles File.
Note: To see all the available UCC formats, enter a “?” in the field and press Enter.
If a label format is not assigned to a customer, the default UCC label is used.
There are several “customer specific” shipping labels in the Label Styles File. These UCC labels present the information on a shipping label in a format required by the customer. These label styles are created on a special project basis, usually for large national accounts.
For example, when an order is shipped to a Target distribution center, it may require a shipping label designed especially for your particular business with Target.
Note: These labels are available for general use, but they are not meant to be fit for any purpose, other than the purpose of the parties that contracted with Dancik on the design of the particular label.

UCC labels are created by Dancik and for the most part cannot be changed. However, you can change the description of the label and add notes about it. Keep in mind if you change the title of an existing label, you need to ensure the Billto File and Customer Preferences File for any accounts that use the changed label are also updated.
1. Go to the EDI and Bar Code Functions Menu (menu EB) and select option 3 - Label Styles File.
2. Select option 1 - Picking / Shipping Label Styles.

UCC Labels and UCC Cartonization Program
This functionality supports printing UCC labels during order fulfillment.This functionality within the Update Order Status program (WAR 5) cross references the Packaging File to determine the number of labels needed per order/line. This information is automatically inserted into the appropriate fields during the label printing process. If necessary, the system generated values can be overridden.
Furthermore, order lines can now be linked to a UCC label number in the customer’s ASN document.
1. For this example, we are going to update the order as if it were priced and shipped to a customer with UCC level business requirements.
|
Note: The weight and carton information shown above was accessed via the F18 function key on the Order Detail screen.
2. On the Warehouse Functions menu (WAR), select option 5 - Update Order Status. The Order/Shipping Status Update screen appears.
|
3. Press F20 (Shift + F8) to access the UCC-128 Label Maintenance Screen.
4. To define the shipping unit, enter the Order#, Lading UM and press Enter.
|
5. The order lines appear. To print UCC labels, enter a P in the appropriate Opt field and press Enter.
|
6. The Number of Labels and Quantity per Label is automatically calculated from information in the Packaging File (FIL 11). For line number 0010, the Packaging File, based on the UM and quantity is informing us we need two UCC shipping labels with 30.3 SF in each carton.
Note: Each label is assigned a unique UCC-128 number if no UCC-128 number is entered.
7. Since the order was for 77 SF of the item on line 0010, we know that we have to override the 2 labels to 3 (30.3 x 2 = 60.6 SF). This gives us two full cartons and a partially full carton.
8. Press Enter to print the labels.
9. Going back to the UCC-128 Label Maintenance Screen we can see that several labels, including the one shown above, are attached to line 0010 on order 419065.
|
10. To edit the UCC label data, select a line number. All of the label numbers for the selected line appear.
|
11. Use this screen to change the label number, quantity, and/or unit of measure.
