Which LPN maintenance to perform? The following chart explains the type of maintenance you can perform against an LPN.
Use this option to create a new LPN. The Create LPN option: • does not require you to assign an LPN number. • allows you to update inventory. • automatically prints an LPN label. This may be helpful if you have inventory in your warehouse not currently assigned to an LPN, perhaps because you are in the process of converting to an RF system. Note: The system does not allow you to create an LPN in a primary location. |
|
Use this option to adjust the item unit quantity in an LPN. You can also use this option to delete an LPN by adjusting the quantity to zero if there is currently a record of the item in this location. When you adjust an LPN, you can also update inventory. • If you update inventory when you adjust an LPN, the system does not validate that the item quantity in the location is greater than or equal to the quantity you define for the LPN. This means that you can create a discrepancy between your on-hand quantity and your LPN record if there is no sufficient quantity of the item in the location. • If you do not update inventory when you adjust an LPN, it is as if you are allocating the quantity from the existing stock in the location. |
|
Use this option to create a new LPN record. The Build LPN option: • requires you to assign an LPN number. • does not allow you to update inventory. • does not automatically print an LPN label. This may be helpful if, for example, you wish to transfer stock out of primary and into bulk storage, but the system had deleted the LPN when you first placed the case in primary. In this situation, you would use the existing LPN label and assign the same number as before. Because you do not update inventory levels when you build an LPN, it is as if you are allocating the quantity from the existing stock in the location you indicate. The system does not validate that you have an item quantity in the location that is greater than or equal to the quantity you define for the LPN. This means that you will create a discrepancy between your on-hand quantity and your LPN quantity if you do not make sure that you have a sufficient quantity of the item in the location. Note: The system does not allow you to build an LPN in a primary location. |
