Create LPN

Purpose: Use the Create LPN option to create a new LPN record, have the system assign an LPN number, and print a new 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.

This screen gives you the option of updating inventory. If you set the Update inventory? flag to Y, the system will increase your on-hand quantity by the amount indicated. If the flag is set to N, it is as if you are allocating the quantity from the existing stock in the location you indicate. (The Update inventory flag does not appear if you do not have authority to update inventory through RF, as controlled by the Allow Update of Inventory in RF (A47) secured feature.

Important: 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 if you set the Update inventory flag to N. 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.

You can also use the Build LPN option to create an LPN record. The Build LPN screen, however, requires that you assign an LPN number, does not allow you to update inventory, and does not automatically print a label. The Build LPN option may be more helpful if you want to transfer stock out of a primary location to bulk storage, but the LPN had been deleted when you placed the stock in primary.

Note: The system does not allow you to create or build an LPN in a primary location.

This flag does not appear if you do not have authority to update inventory through RF, as controlled by the Allow Update of Inventory in RF (A47) secured feature.)

Field

Description

Upd inv (Update inventory)

This value indicates whether to increase on-hand item quantity by the number you enter in the Quantity field as a result of creating this LPN. Valid values are: Y = Update inventory. N = Do not update inventory. If you do not enter a value in this field, it defaults to N. Note: If you do not update inventory and there is not an existing quantity of the item in this location greater than or equal to the quantity you enter, you will create a discrepancy between your LPN records and your inventory levels. Alphanumeric, 1 position; required.

Completing this screen:

1. Complete the location, item/SKU, and quantity fields. Optionally, complete the warehouse, LPN unit quantity, or update inventory fields to override the defaults. Press CTL + ENTER.

2. The system validates your entry. Correct any fields if necessary.

Request Outqueue Screen

You advance to the request outqueue screen after you create a new LPN. This screen allows you to print an LPN label.

CL Rqst Outq 27 Printer: P9 F3=Exit F8=Clear

Each field on this screen is described in RF Field Descriptions.

How to complete this screen:

1. Optionally, select the printer where you want the label to print. The output queue assigned to your CWDirect user profile defaults in this field. If no printer is defined in your CWDirect user profile, the system supplies this value.

2. Press CTL + ENTER to print the LPN label; or, press FUNC + 3 to return to the create LPN screen without printing a label, or FUNC + 8 to clear the printer field. Whether you print the label or not, the system returns you to the create LPN screen and displays the following message:

 

LPN Created.

Error message: If you do not enter a valid printer name at the request outqueue screen, the system displays the following message:

Invalid OutQ

Adjust LPN

Purpose: Use this option to adjust the item unit quantity in an LPN. You can also use this screen to delete an LPN by adjusting the quantity to zero if there is currently a record of the item in this location.

You can update inventory through the adjust LPN screen by setting the Update inventory? flag to Y. If the flag is set to N, it is as if you are allocating the quantity from the existing stock in the location. (This flag does not appear if you do not have authority to update inventory through RF, as controlled by the Allow Update of Inventory in RF (A47) secured feature.)

Important: 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 if you set the Update inventory flag to N. 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.

2. The system validates your entry and displays the warehouse, location, item, and SKU information for the LPN. Correct any of your entries if necessary.

3. Press CTL + ENTER. The system adjusts the LPN quantity and displays the following message:

If you did not enter a number in the quantity field, the system adjusts the quantity to zero and deletes the LPN.

Screen Option	Procedure
Exit the screen	Press FUNC + 3.
Clear the information from the screen and restore the defaults	Press FUNC + 8.

Possible errors:

Error Message	Cause
Invalid from Cmpy	The company number you entered is not a valid company on your system, or the company field is blank.
Unauthorized Cmpy	You do not have authority to the company number you entered.
SCV Error - A26 (or other value)	The company whose number you entered has a system control value related to RF or the SKU field with a setting that is incompatible with your current company.
Invalid LPN Number	The LPN number you entered is not valid.
Item Loc Not Found	There is no record of the item in the location indicated, possibly because of a discrepancy between the LPN record and the actual inventory on-hand. In order to delete the LPN, you will need to use Displaying License Plate Information (WLPN).

Build LPN

Purpose: 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, and does not automatically print an LPN label; in these respects, it differs from the Create LPN option. The Build LPN option 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.

Note: If there is already a record of the item in the location you specify at this screen, your entry will serve to update the minimum and maximum quantity fields for the item/location record; however, no message will display telling you that the item/location record already exists.
