Resources · Audit readiness
Bring these facts before a label audit and the first week becomes much sharper.
This checklist helps SAP, packaging, regulatory, and plant teams prepare the evidence needed to diagnose label risk without wasting time in vague discovery.
Best forSAP ECC/S/4, EHS/GLM, BarTender, NiceLabel, Loftware, GS1, GHS, UDI, and regulated packaging operations.
OutputA cleaner gap map across data, templates, print triggers, compliance content, printers, and support ownership.
Use beforeMigration, print-platform upgrade, recurring label defects, compliance review, or site rollout.
SAP trigger map
- Document print events: delivery, production, warehouse, pack-out, reprint.
- Identify transactions, outputs, middleware, and manual bypasses.
- Collect recent failures and screenshots.
Master data and rules
- List required fields for each label type.
- Mark fields edited after SAP extraction.
- Capture business rules for customer, country, language, and plant variation.
GHS and regulated content
- Identify phrase, pictogram, signal word, and hazard statement sources.
- Map SDS-to-label handoff and approval ownership.
- Collect examples of regional label variation.
Barcode and validation
- List barcode types: GS1-128, DataMatrix, QR, UDI, serial, batch, expiry.
- Show how scans are verified and recorded.
- Capture scanner, verifier, and reprint process gaps.
Printer and support model
- List printers, media, ribbon, drivers, print servers, and plant ownership.
- Capture calibration and recurring hardware issues.
- Show escalation route for label incidents.
Next step
Turn the checklist into an audit scope.
If you can gather even 60% of this evidence, a two-day Label Compliance Audit can separate urgent risk from noise and produce a practical remediation order.
