General Information about Print Supplier Label
You will find a general description of how to manage lists in MONITOR in the chapter Managing Lists in the System under General in the MONITOR Basics guide.
Why Use This Procedure?
Here you can print address labels for letters and send e-mails and text messages to one or more suppliers at a time.
Under the Create tab you can for example make different selections depending on which printer you have selected and if you have selected to send via e-mail or text message. Furthermore, you can select what to print on the labels.
Label Printer or Ordinary Printer
When printing labels, you can use special label printers that print labels on rolls in 100x50 mm format. We recommend the label printers Direct thermal or Thermal transfer.
If you do not use a special label printer, it is also possible to print labels on a regular laser or ink-jet printer instead. There are five standard label types for A4 page size.
If you have selected Ordinary printer and the text is not properly placed on the label, try to go to the Settings and Customize... in the Window menu and there under the Printouts tab and temporarily deselect the setting MONITOR Printer dialog before printing. The most common reason why the printout/text is not properly placed on the label is that the margins of the MONITOR printer have not been configured for printouts on label sheets in the Printers procedure. The printer in question might be configured for other printout types.
Via E-mail
If you use the procedure to send e-mails, you can under the E-mail address heading select to send to the Main address (one message per supplier) or to the Reference person's address (one message per reference person and supplier). The latter alternative can result in more than one message sent per supplier.
Please note that the e-mail addresses will be entered in the "Bcc" (blind carbon copy) field and the "To" field will be empty in the e-mail program.
Via SMS
In order to send text messages (SMS), an account is required at one of the SMS operators. The operators that are supported by MONITOR are described by the setting Operator under the SMS heading under the System tab in the Settings procedure. Other necessary settings are also found in that section.
See printout samples for label and for list for e-mail messages and text messages (SMS) .
What Update Options Exist for this Procedure?
You can only make temporary changes in the Display List mode.
When selecting Label printer or Ordinary printer, you can change the information on the address rows before printing, if needed. The reference person row also contains a list box where you can select one of the different references registered for the supplier in question.
When selecting Via e-mail, you can deselect the rows that you do not want to include in the recipient list of the e-mail. All rows with an e-mail address are included by default. You can also choose to create a notification in the text log in the SRM.
When selecting Via SMS, you can also choose to create a notification in the text log in the SRM.
