Print Inbound Operation Documents in GWMS
1. Scenario
After an inbound forecast is approved, warehouse users can print several documents for on-site work:
- 【Print Carton Label】: generate labels for outer cartons. These labels support later scanning by inbound order number or carton label number.
- 【Print GSKU Label】: generate product-level GSKU labels for products without usable barcodes, relabeling, or warehouse internal identification.
- 【Print Put Away List】: generate a putaway task sheet for by-box or by-SKU putaway.
- 【Print Inbound Order】: generate an inbound order PDF by box or by GSKU for record keeping or on-site checking.
This guide is for warehouse users printing documents from the inbound forecast list. Whether box labels or GSKU labels are required before shipment depends on the warehouse operation rule and service agreement.
2. Steps

2.3 Print GSKU labels
Click 【Print GSKU Label】. GWMS reads inbound details and summarizes printable labels by GSKU. The same GSKU is expanded by forecast quantity so the print count matches the inbound detail quantity.

If the inbound order uses SKU receiving mode, GWMS disables by-box put away list printing. Choose by-SKU mode instead.
Click 【Confirm Print】 to generate the put away list PDF.
