Printing Labels for a Purchase Order
Skumo can print product labels directly from a Purchase Order — useful when stock arrives without labels, or when you want to re-label items with your own barcodes and prices.
Accessing Label Printing
Labels can be printed from any PO in Sent, Partial, or Received status.
Open the PO and click Print Labels.
Pre-Filled Quantities
When you open the label print screen, the quantity for each item is pre-filled based on the current status of the PO:
| PO Status | Pre-filled quantity |
|---|---|
| Sent | The ordered quantity for each item |
| Partial | The received quantity for each item |
| Received | The received quantity for each item |
This means that for a Sent PO (where nothing has arrived yet), quantities default to what you ordered — convenient if you want to pre-print labels ready for the delivery. For a Partial or Received PO, quantities default to what's actually come in.
You can adjust any quantity on the print screen before printing, and set any item to zero to exclude it from the print run.
Label Options
Show price
Toggle Include price to print the retail price on each label. This is off by default but can be turned on for this print run, or set to on by default in Settings → Label Printing.
Label size
The label size is set in Settings → Label Printing. Common sizes are pre-set (89×36mm, 62×29mm, 102×57mm, 50×25mm) or you can enter a custom size. A scaled preview in Settings shows how your label will look at the chosen size.
Barcode type
Skumo supports several barcode formats:
| Type | When to use |
|---|---|
| Auto-detect (default) | Skumo picks the right format automatically based on the barcode on the product |
| EAN-13 | Standard 13-digit European barcodes |
| UPC-A | Standard 12-digit US barcodes |
| Code 128 | Alphanumeric barcodes, often used for SKUs |
| Code 39 | Older alphanumeric format, widely supported |
Auto-detect handles most cases correctly. Only change this if you need labels in a specific format for your label printer or scanning equipment.
Printing
On iPhone or iPad
Tap Print and Skumo will open a print preview in a new window optimised for AirPrint. Select your label printer from the printer list and print.
On desktop (Mac or Windows)
Click Download PDF to save a PDF of the labels. Open the PDF and print it using your label printer's software or your browser's print dialogue. Make sure to print at actual size (100%) with no scaling to ensure barcodes scan correctly.
