Dear Subash
regarding:
For Labels, can we use SAP Script/Smart Forms, Adobe forms instead of WWI Templates ?
By standard: No; but there is a "potential option"
Check SAP Online help. Check the Business functions related to EHS. In one of them an "option" is described to "print" something not using WWI. If this is possible with GLM: no idea. Nether tried to implement that.
Please check as well "SAP Recipe Management" docu. There is reference ot a solution not using WWI which is "part" of SAP EHS.
Regarding:
For printing Labels from GLM, do SAP suggest / requires any particular printers (physical printer to print the labels) ?
Depends on your need. If you execute an inquiry in this FORUM you will find reference to "high volume printing" in GLM. In reality: if you use WWI: There are only "physical reasons of type of label" to use special printers (as Zebra printers etc.). And because of "Bar code" etc. Check this FORUM as well.. Not an easy topic with Bar Code
Regarding:
I have few doubts in installing Generation server also. Can u provide me the logic behind the generation server, synchronous server, EHS Management server. I
Don't go deep into that. You can not compare SDS printing to GLM printing etc.. Just do it like SAP is recommending for GLM. Please separate the topics:
"generation server" from "synchronous or asynchronous". Regarding EHS Manage,ent server: this is the same. Check e.g. http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_06/helpdata/en/69/46e98392e3c04ea65c1b682cc98cfa/content.htm?frameset=/en/c1/eda0f591ec12408b25e7a1b369ca45/frameset.htm
Chapter EH&S Management Server
Regarding any WWI topic: please check WWI cookbook: anything is explained therein
Regarding:
2. Using any of the above 6 scenarios one will print the label. But how to check whether labels are printed for a sales order (for eg) or not..? Once the label is printed, how to block the particular sales order from printing label again ?
There are severla levels of "answer": First: you can prepare GLM using a "log". The log should give you indication which label has been found processed etc.
Second: at the end: anything ends as a "SAP print stream to SAP Spool"
Third: there is no "physical" guarantee that label is printed (same as MSDS/SDS)
Regarding the second topic. mmh interesting question. I am not sure how the standard handles that; i would assume a second print is possible (reason is the same like MSDS: may be there was a "misprint" of label; therefore it does not always makes sense to "hinder" second printing; it is a matter of "user training" etc. from my point of view
Labeling Scenarios: reading cross:
Chapter: Labeling Scenario
You can prepare your own scenario. Which of the above mentioned once is the right "template": this you need to check yourself
