## Short answer

Loftware Integration - Oracle EBS is a component installed in the EBS database that connects Oracle Warehouse Management label requests to Loftware Cloud, Enterprise SP or NiceLabel LMS. It lets Oracle WMS keep requesting labels the way it always has while the label design and printing move to Loftware. It fits plants that need controlled, compliant labels at scale.

## Product

## Vendor

Loftware

## Category

Label printing

## Integration

**Method:** Component installed in the EBS database

**Detail:** Per Loftware release notes, the integration is installed in the Oracle E-Business Suite database and picks up label print requests made by Oracle Warehouse Management.

**Method:** Connection to Loftware label products

**Detail:** The component forwards requests to Loftware Cloud, Loftware Enterprise SP or NiceLabel LMS, which merge data into templates and print. Which target you use determines where servers and templates live.

## Data Flows

**From:** Oracle WMS

**To:** Loftware Integration component

**Data:** Label request with item, lot, license plate, quantity and destination fields

**Trigger:** WMS task or shipping transaction needing a label

**From:** Loftware Integration component

**To:** Loftware Cloud, Enterprise SP or NiceLabel LMS

**Data:** Label data for template merge

**Trigger:** Request detected

**From:** Loftware platform

**To:** Printer

**Data:** Rendered label

**Trigger:** Template merge complete

**From:** Loftware platform

**To:** Oracle EBS

**Data:** Print confirmation or error

**Trigger:** Job complete or failed

## Setup

### Choose the Loftware target

**Detail:** Decide between Loftware Cloud, Enterprise SP or NiceLabel LMS. On-prem and air-gapped sites generally need an on-prem option, so confirm deployment with Loftware.

### Check version and prerequisites

**Detail:** Review the release notes for the integration version against your EBS and database versions.

### Install the component in the EBS database

**Detail:** Apply it in a non-production instance first, with DBA review of the objects it adds.

### Map Oracle WMS label formats

**Detail:** Match each WMS label format name to a Loftware template and printer.

### Build templates

**Detail:** Recreate each label in the Loftware designer with the correct barcodes and variable fields.

### Test across WMS flows

**Detail:** Print from receiving, putaway, picking, packing and shipping, including reprints.

## Pitfalls

- Database objects added to EBS must be reviewed by your DBA and included in refresh and patching procedures.
- Cloud targets require outbound connectivity from the EBS tier, which many plants block.
- WMS label format names that are renamed in Oracle silently stop matching templates.
- Reprint behavior differs between Oracle WMS and the label system and can create duplicate labels.
- Template changes by label designers without change control can break production lines.

## Ai Layer

### Label request tracing

**Description:** Follow a label request from the WMS task to the Loftware job and printer queue, and explain where it was lost.

### Format mapping checks

**Description:** Compare Oracle WMS label formats with Loftware templates to find formats with no template or mismatched fields.

### Compliance label audit

**Description:** Check sampled shipments for required label content against customer requirements, flagging gaps for quality.

## Alternatives

- BarTender with Oracle XML print requests is the common alternative and runs entirely on your own servers.
- Oracle's built-in WMS label printing is enough when labels are few and layouts are fixed.
- If you only print from shipping, a simpler shipping system label may remove the need for WMS label integration.

## Faq

### Does this replace Oracle WMS?

**Answer:** No. It connects WMS label requests to Loftware products. Warehouse logic stays in Oracle WMS, and only label design and printing move to Loftware.

### Can it run without the cloud?

**Answer:** The component lists Loftware Enterprise SP and NiceLabel LMS as targets alongside Loftware Cloud. Those are server-based options; confirm on-prem hosting details with Loftware.

### How is it different from the NiceLabel Automation route?

**Answer:** Both are Loftware routes for Oracle EBS. This page covers the database component that forwards WMS requests; the NiceLabel Automation page covers its .misx configuration for LMS Enterprise.
