There are 3 different transport label formats: The type called Transport Label is an A4 landscape format. The type called Label is an A5 landscape format (half an A4). The type called Small Label is 76x49 mm and is suitable as a sticker to attach on smaller goods such as bags and small boxes or cartons. The Transport Label and the Label has the same layout and contains the same information, whereas the Small Label has a different layout.

You can print transport labels for arrived goods, or for goods that is awaiting receiving inspection. In other words, you can only print transport labels for parts on purchase orders that have a partial delivery or a final delivery made (orders with Status 5-9).
