Use Wastage Entry to quickly print multiple labels for the same item — helping you save time when restocking shelves, or replacing damaged tags.
How to create a batch for label printing
-
Go to Inventory → Wastage Entry
-
Select Add to create a new batch.
-
Enter a batch name or number (e.g. LABELS or DAIRYPRINTS), then click OK.
-
-
Add items to print
-
Click Add to open the Wastage Item window.
-
Enter the Item Number or use Item Lookup to search by description or barcode (APN).
-
Select your item and click OK.
-
Enter the Quantity — this time, it’s the number of labels you want to print (not wasted items).
-
Click OK twice to confirm.
-
💡 Tip:
You can load items from a wireless or Metcash/Spar PDE. If using a wireless PDE, close the batch completely before scanning, then reopen it when finished.
