Forms, Labels & Shipping Documents for Epicor Prophet 21
The order is ready. Is the paperwork?
A missing field, an incorrect barcode, or a certificate someone has to prepare separately can create extra work at the point where your team needs to keep orders moving.
At MindHARBOR, we help Epicor Prophet 21 users fix, modify, and build forms, labels, and related document workflows.
Sometimes it’s a small adjustment to an existing form. Sometimes it’s connecting the document to the data and printing process your business needs.
Fix or Build the Forms Your Team Uses
We can help with new layouts, changes to existing forms, additional data, barcode output, and printing problems.
That work can include order acknowledgements, pick tickets, packing lists, invoices, transfer documents, and item labels.
We review your existing forms and reporting tools—including Crystal, Adobe, and SSRS where applicable—to determine an approach that fits your environment.
Certificates With the Packing List
One customer needed a Certificate of Compliance for each item in a shipment.
We built a packing list subreport that retrieves the required certificate information from the database and includes it with the output.
A two-page packing list might require ten additional certificate pages. Connecting those documents helps reduce the separate work of preparing the shipment paperwork.
Pick Ticket Grouping & Barcode Documents
A custom project grouped pick tickets for orders and backorders by customer ship-to address.
The workflow included a master pick ticket sheet with barcodes, along with the individual pick tickets.
Related projects have added pick ticket barcodes to transfer documents and transfer packing lists, helping connect printed paperwork to the warehouse workflow.
GS1-128 Labels, SSCC & ASN Integration
Does the label on the shipment match the shipment information sent to your customer?
For suppliers shipping to Walmart, Sam’s Club, or other customers with specific labeling requirements, keeping ERP data, case and pallet labels, and EDI shipment notices synchronized can be a recurring headache.
We can help connect P21, your warehouse workflow, label generation, and EDI 856 Advance Ship Notices (ASNs).
Custom work can include:
• Mapping item, quantity, lot, and date information to customer-required labels
• Managing SSCC identifiers for shipping units
• Keeping label identifiers and carton/pallet contents aligned with ASN data
• Adding validation before printing or sending shipment information
• Handling reprints and helping prevent duplicate identifiers
If your team is entering shipping information twice or correcting label and ASN mismatches manually, show us the process and your customer’s requirements. We can help identify where the systems need to connect.
Item Labels & Printer Workflows
We’ve developed an interface to print labels for individual items on a pick ticket, including work with TSC printers.
Other projects have addressed printing to designated default printers.
If your team is selecting printers repeatedly, working around label layouts, or entering information again before printing, we can review the process and discuss improvements.
Hazmat Shipping Documents
We’ve also developed a web form, triggered through a P21 business rule, for creating and editing hazmat shipping batches.
The workflow generates reports that can be printed and saved as PDFs.
The project is built around the documentation and business requirements provided by the customer.
Put Useful Information on Customer Forms
Forms can do more than present the standard order details.
For example, we incorporated incoming PO-to-sales-order matching logic into an Order Acknowledgement form so applicable lines display anticipated item availability dates.
That gives customers more useful information while reducing the manual checking needed to answer availability questions.
Custom Work Built Around Your Requirements
We bring experience from projects we’ve developed and reusable approaches to each engagement, then tailor the data, layouts, and workflow to your needs.
Using another ERP? We can review your forms, labels, data sources, and printing process to discuss similar improvements.
What’s Making Your Team Work Around the Form?
Show us the current document, what needs to change, and any customer or supplier requirements it needs to meet.
We can help with a recurring printing problem, a missing field, or a larger document workflow.
Fix. Build. Bridge.
