The **label** of a Stock Item contains important data that is useful not only in the internal organization of a company *(e.g. Inventory Balance)* but in informing the Trading Parties as well (e.g. a Customer) for a specific stock item *(e.g. price, discount, item variations)*. 

The **Labels document** is a SOFT1 ERP Stock document *(Commercial Management →  Stock Management → Stock Documents)*, which gathers all the items whose labels should be printed, e.g. new purchase, discount periods, etc.
