Hey Fellow Users,
 
    Please bear with me as I am a new employee and new to the Evo-ERP culture. I work for a small electronics manufacturing company and we are continually growing and refining our processes.  
     
   I'm sure this problem has been addressed at least once by most experienced DBA users, so here it goes....
 
  What is the best way to go about integrating Evo-ERP/DBA with a label printing machine. Currently, in receiving, our employees are bogged down both entering the received inventory into the DBA database, then separately reentering much of the same information into a sicky-label friendly format.  Our goal is to be able to to go the items menu after logging new inventory, and have a label maker create one, bar-coded label.  
 
   Does anybody have any advice as to what types of label makers integrate well with this software?
 
   Any experiences that any users would be willing to share?
 
Thanks,

We have a dedicated computer that runs Crystal Reports to generate labels on Zebra printers. Not very helpful in your current situation I guess, but an option.  

  Thanks everyone for the great feedback - Now I've gone from the realm of 'is this possible' to 'how do I get this done.'
 
    Lynn, So the update automatically prints labels? Even if our software does not have the most current update, will it at least support a label printer?

Where is the option for PO-C to call label printing?

  Thanks!! WOW there is a lot of good information here. So, here is what I can tell in a nutshell and please bounce me if I have it wrong. I hope by phrasing it simply like this, it will help somebody else in the future who is learning the software as I am...
 
 
 1. Evo Erp will in fact allow users to print PO and other labels through the items menu. The items
     on such labels can be customized and edited by the user to reflect the needs of our firm. So, for
     example, if we want Our own item number instead of the manufacturers, we can choose either
     one and it's still cool.  
 
 2. Evo Erp will interface with any Windows label printer.
 
 3. Under the new patch, 12/21, (we currently have the IS Support Update 3/27/08) it has a neat  
     little option that will either automatically print sticky item labels when the lady in receiving enters  
     parts the UPS man gives us, or it will pop up a little box asking if it wants us to do so. Even  
     without the 12/21 update, it will still print labels just fine, just not automatically. Hence, in our case
     especially where we may need to print lots and lots of labels for each little baggie of circuit board
     parts, it may even be easier to just NOT use the automatic printing option and just hit the print
     option in the item menu a few times.  
 
Are there any printers that users specifically recommend?  
 
 
  Please take a look at my first 3 points - If I'm on the right page, then I can run with it from here. If not, please help me understand.  
 
 Thanks a bunch everybody - these forums are a lot of help!!!!
