Mailing Label F/M (OAF940)

Use this program to create and maintain information that can be used to create mailing labels. Each record contains a mailing label code and general information relevant to the mailing label.

Before you enter mailing labels, set up at least one mail code in the Mail Code F/M program.

After you create mailing label entries, print the labels themselves from the Mailing Label Print program.

However, before you print the labels you may want to print a proofing copy from Mailing Label Report. This document allows you to review all label entries in report format so that you don’t waste labels on old addresses, out-of-date contacts or other incorrect information.

For more information how to use maintenances, refer to the following topics:
