Note: On 1 September 2024, JTL introduced new editions that bundle most of the previous individual services into different packages. In order for you to continue working as smoothly as possible, existing customers were automatically switched to the package configuration that best matched their existing contract. The individual packages differ in terms of limitations and/or range of functions. Therefore, some of the features described in the JTL-Guide may not be available to you as part of your booked JTL edition. You can change your package configuration in your JTL customer account. Find out more about the new editions and packages here. Check our FAQ for frequently asked questions about the product editions.
Invoicing labelling
Your task/initial situation
You offer a labelling service and would like to invoice the service per labelled item. On this page we will show you how to set up a workflow that, in addition to recording an accounting item, also prints the required item label directly.
Step 1: Creating accounting items
The first step is to create a new accounting item for labelling. If you offer different types of labelling with different costs, you can also create several items, e.g. for:
- Create all accounting items you require. For more information, go to: Creating accounting items.
Step 2: Creating a manual workflow
Next, you must create a manual workflow to print the label and create an accounting line item for the printed item label.
Note: Manual workflows can be triggered via JTL-Wawi as well as via JTL-WMS and JTL-WMS Mobile. They are thus also available to you directly in the warehouse, the place where labelling is usually carried out.
- In JTL-Wawi, open the dialogue box Creating and editing JTL-Workflows via the menu Admin > JTL-Workflows. You are already in the Items area.
- Select Item – Manual and click Create event to create the new event “Labelling”.
- Select the newly created event and click on Create workflow. If necessary, configure an additional Condition that is to apply when the workflow is started manually.
- Under Actions, add a new action and select Add accounting line item.
- Select the following settings for the action:
- If necessary, add another action, e.g. Output > Print > Item label.
Step 3: Running the workflow
You can access the workflow in the following ways.
In JTL-Wawi
- Go to the area Items, select the item you want to label, and then click Trigger workflow.
In JTL-WMS
- Go to the area Internal > Item overview.
- Click the button for manual workflows. Select the desired manual workflow.
In JTL-WMS Mobile
- Scan an item in the Information area.
- Use the workflow icon to open the manual workflow management and tap on the desired workflow.
