SAP GLM+ (Global Label Management) is the label management solution integrated into the SAP system, used for managing and printing product labels.

GLM+ uses WWI (Windows Wordprocessor Integration) servers to generate documents and labels. However, WWI functionality will no longer be supported in future versions of SAP S/4HANA, and it is planned that this functionality will be replaced by third-party solutions such as EUROLABEL.

Integration of EUROLABEL labeling solution with SAP Global Label Management (GLM) brings a significant improvement over WWI server-based printing. Here are the main benefits of this integration:

• Full integration with the SAP ecosystem: EUROLABEL is fully integrated with SAP GLM, enabling centralised label management directly in the SAP environment. This ensures data consistency and improved traceability.
• Advanced automation: EUROLABEL-SAP GLM integration enables automated label printing from different SAP systems, reducing manual intervention and potential errors.
• Improved regulatory compliance: SAP GLM ensures the printing of labels that comply with current regulations, particularly for chemicals and dangerous goods. Integration with EUROLABEL reinforces this capability, enabling label templates to be updated quickly.
• Increased multilingual flexibility: The combination of EUROLABEL and SAP GLM provides extensive support for printing labels in multiple languages and character sets, including Asian and Arabic languages, from a single label template.
• Optimised label design: Although SAP GLM used the power of the Microsoft Word-based design tool (WWI), integration with EUROLABEL can offer additional design functionality, enabling the creation of more complex and customised labels.
• Centralised data management: The integration provides easy access to data from a variety of SAP sources, such as the specification database, materials and logistics data, ensuring greater consistency and accuracy of label information.
• Improved traceability and archiving: SAP GLM offers versioning, archiving and label history tracking capabilities. Integration with EUROLABEL extends these capabilities, ensuring improved traceability and compliance.
• Extensibility and customization: EUROLABEL-SAP GLM integration makes it easy to extend functionalities to meet your company’s specific needs, thanks for example to the BAdIs (Business Add-Ins) available in SAP GLM.
• Cost optimisation: By centralising label management and automating processes, this integration can help reduce the costs associated with label maintenance and management, while improving operational efficiency.
