I am new in my role and I have a lot of experience with Epicor, but not as much experience in development or erp management. I am working on the implementation of the Advanced Material Management module and I need barcode location and part labels to come directly from epicor. We currently use bartender for this, as all labels are Manually printed outside of epicor. Please help me to understand how to design and print a label within Epicor.

Depending how advanced your labels need to be you may be able to just do a custom SSRS report and use the DWBAR39 font, or others, for the barcode.
If you want Bartender to do it, there are threads for using REST with Bartender to send custom reports(labels) for Bartender to process. I can’t find @Hally’s thread here but his GitHub is GitHub - HallSimonHall/Insights2024

Randy,
I am a gov cloud user, completely new to administration and coding. I build a custom label out just as you described as an SSRS report in report builder, but i have no idea how to get that .rdl file to be found by our client. It’s as if there is this mythical server repository that i cant find or wasnt given access to. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Reports in Epicor have a Report Style --like OrderAck for sales order acknowledgement-- and a Report Data Definition (RDD). Did you base your report of a stock report style or totally new custom report?
Randy, I copied the report style for the MtlTags definition. I then edited the report in report builder saving it as a new .rdl file and then zipping for upload (it only allows for zips for some reason, not direct file reference) But every time I try to upload a new SSRS it says my source file cant be found even when it’s the only file in the zip. Even when I download the original SSRS, and repackage it with the new file, it still doesn’t work. I think it has something to do with being gov cloud but maybe it’s a really easy fix I’m just missing.
I believe it’s a bug with Report Style. IIRC if you make a new report style you can upload the ZIP file. PITA and I’m still using the Classic Report Style because of it.
