[en] Designing, managing, and maintaining labels in SAP can require time-consuming work in SAPscript or Smart Forms. You want to simplify your SAP labeling process and prevent potential label content errors.
[en] The NiceLabel ABAP Package makes your SAP labeling more user-friendly and reliable.
[en] The ABAP Package connects SAP with NiceLabel systems as part of Loftware Cloud or LMS. The ABAP Package receives commands and data from your SAP applications and communicates with NiceLabel Automation to print your labels.
[en] The ABAP Package includes a label printing API that SAP uses to send data for printing. The API packages the data received by SAP applications into an XML message and sends the XML message to NiceLabel Automation via Web Service (SOA) or HTTP (RFC type G) communication.
[en] To print, NiceLabel Automation loads the labels you specify from your NiceLabel Document Management System (DMS), applies variable values from XML data, and uses your NiceLabel printer driver to prepare print jobs in Windows Spooler.
[en] You create your label templates in NiceLabel Desktop Designer and store them in your DMS, where you can apply the approval workflows and version controls. Your NiceLabel DMS also supports role-based access control (RBAC) and stores the history of all print events. You can also reprint labels directly from the DMS.
