Quick Label Shipping for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Quick Label creates a carrier shipping label in seconds without item-level packing. Shipping clerks state how many boxes are going out, capture or enter the weight, and print the carrier label, all from inside Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. It is built for the high-volume domestic desk where a full pack-and-verify pass is more process than the shipment needs.

Key Capabilities
Label without packing. Create a carrier-compliant shipping label without assigning items to cartons. State the boxes you are shipping, set the weight, and get the label.
Built-in rate shopping. Leave the Shipping Agent Code blank to compare live rates across carriers, or leave the Shipping Agent Service blank to shop a single carrier’s services. Name both to skip straight to a preferred option.
Dimensions for accurate rates. Enter shipment length, width, and height to receive the most accurate rate. Dimensions are recommended, and the dimension unit of measure is required when you populate them.
Required weight capture. Shipment gross weight and the weight unit of measure are required, so every label is rated against a real package weight. Read the weight from a connected scale or enter it.
Ribbon actions on one screen. Get Rate, Get Label, Shipment Options, Package Options, Get Weight, and Refund All Packages all run from the Quick Label ribbon.
Tracking email on label creation. Set the Tracking Email Trigger to Label Creation in Dynamic Ship Setup, and a notification fires the moment the Quick Label prints.
Scanner-friendly. Open Quick Label from the Package Worksheet with the Pack Command –QUICKLABEL (–QL), so a scanner-driven station reaches it without a mouse.
How Quick Label Works in Dynamic Ship
- Open Quick Label from the sales order, Order Packaging, or the Package Worksheet (scan –QUICKLABEL or –QL on the worksheet).
- List the boxes you are shipping and enter their dimensions, or accept the defaults.
- Capture the weight from a connected scale or key it in. Weight and weight unit of measure are required.
- Get the rate, then get the label. The carrier label prints to your local, network, or cloud printer.
Why Dynamic Ship Quick Label Stands Out
Most shipments at a busy domestic desk do not need carton-level item tracking. They need a correct rate and a label, fast. Quick Label gives you that in a few seconds while keeping the full Package Worksheet available for the orders that do require serial, lot, and package-level detail. You are not forced to use a single packing depth for every shipment.
Quick Label also keeps rate selection in your hands. Leave the carrier blank, and Dynamic Ship rate shops live across your configured carriers right inside Business Central, so even a three-second label can book a competitive rate rather than defaulting to whatever carrier happened to be set up. The label, the rate, and the order all live on one screen, with no separate carrier portal to open.
One honest boundary: Quick Label is for domestic or non-customs shipments. International orders require package-level item tracking for customs, so use the full Package Worksheet flow for cross-border freight.
Who Uses Quick Label
Shipping clerks and floor shippers lean on Quick Label for the steady stream of straightforward domestic parcels that do not warrant carton-by-carton packing. A clerk shipping literature, replacement parts, or a single-box order skips the full pack pass, states the boxes, pulls the weight from the scale, and prints the label. Shipping managers benefit too, since the team reserves detailed packing for the orders that truly need traceability and clears simple shipments quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Use Quick Label in Dynamic Ship. Open it from the sales order, Order Packaging, or the Package Worksheet; state the boxes you are shipping, capture or enter the weight, and print the carrier label. You do not assign individual items to cartons. Quick Label is designed for fast, domestic parcel shipments where carton-level item tracking is not required, and it produces a carrier-compliant label in seconds.
Yes. Leave the Shipping Agent Code blank and Dynamic Ship rate shops live across your configured carriers, or leave the Shipping Agent Service blank to compare a single carrier’s services. Enter shipment dimensions for the most accurate rate. If you already know the carrier and service you want, name both and Quick Label skips straight to producing that label.
No. International orders require package-level item tracking to generate the customs documentation carriers need, and Quick Label does not pack items at that level. For cross-border shipments, use the full Package Worksheet flow, which captures the item, value, HS code, and country-of-origin detail that feeds the commercial invoice. Quick Label is the right tool for domestic and other non-customs shipments.
It can. Set the Tracking Email Trigger to Label Creation in Dynamic Ship Setup, and a tracking notification sends as soon as the Quick Label is created. The email can carry the tracking link to your branded tracking page, so even a fast, no-pack shipment keeps the customer informed.
