Central label management in SAP helps to provide a good overview – and supports standardization. With a central label organization, you reduce the effort required for providing support.
Central label management – simple and clear
We have simplified the management of label printing processes and organized them clearly in a hierarchical tree structure. Despite the centralized approach, our solution allows the representation of decentralized organizational and process structures. With OPAL LABELMANAGEMENT™ you opt for a flexible and global label management.
- Label printing processes are available in various forms. The process defines the label type, the data available for it, and the label templates.
- Conditions (sets of rules) allow you to make flexible assignments of label templates to a product, customer or other parameter. Condition tables offer a high degree of flexibility and are easy and transparent to maintain.
- Use the central label management to implement product-specific – and also customer-specific – labels quickly and without development knowledge.
- The seamless logging in the central label management system also enables you to trace all printed labels directly in SAP S/4 HANA.
- The bottom line is that with central label management in SAP you reduce your costs and standardize your labels

The advantages of central label management
In the following we will show you the most important advantages of a central label management.
Simple standardization
With the Label Management application, we provide you with standardization for your printing processes. All printing processes work according to the same principle. This helps you to establish a harmonized implementation and development process. General rules, such as the determination of templates and printers, are administered centrally and ensure further standardization of the processes
Minimal development effort
Due to our framework approach, you implement printing processes efficiently. With the object-oriented approach in the central label management, you harmonize your developments. The flexible configuration (customizing) significantly reduces the development effort.
Rule-based printing
We know the complexity and label diversity of our customers. That’s why we know how important rule-based printing is for you. Flexible and standardized sets of rules (conditions) allow product-specific and customer-specific requirements to be maintained centrally. Your business department can independently maintain rules for label management. This reduces your dependence on IT.
Simple tracking and traceability
Monitor all printouts on a central monitor. This also allows you to perform efficient error analyses centrally in SAP. Track all changes and benefit accordingly from complete traceability in central label management.
High availability
As a business-critical system, availability requirements are correspondingly high: By distributing the load across multiple print servers, you minimize the risk of failure. The built-in monitoring algorithm relieves your support organization in the process.
Central organization
Thanks to the central organization in a user-friendly transaction, you have everything in view. Whether for shipping or product labels – you will find everything clearly organized in the central label management.
The matrix add-on – a mini Excel for your label management
From our point of view, the management of master data is the biggest challenge. Especially when migrating label data into an SAP system, we repeatedly come across data that is permanently stored in a layout. With Matrix Management – our Mini Excel for SAP – we finally found an intuitive solution to this challenge. Decision tables (matrix) help you to maintain an individual control transparently and reduce the development effort. Thus you take another step towards standardization.
