Chapter 70: Displaying License Plate Information (WLPN)
Purpose: Use the Display License Plate option to review LPNs on your system, and to delete outdated LPN records.
The information you can display through this option includes:
• item/SKU codes and descriptions
• unit quantity
• current warehouse and location
• date created
• information on most recent activity
You may need to delete an LPN if there has been any activity regarding the LPN made through standard CWDirect functions, as opposed to radio frequency transactions, which caused a discrepancy. Except for purchase order receiving, standard CWDirect functions do not create or update LPN records. For example, the following activities may have created discrepancies between LPN records and actual inventory levels:
• picking out of a non-primary location
• adjustments to on-hand quantities or transfers made through Work with Inventory Transactions
• making up finished goods through Work with Inventory Transactions
If activities such as the above have made an LPN's unit quantity out of synch with actual inventory levels, you can use the Adjust LPN option available on the RF menus to correct it. However, the system may require you to use the Display License Plate menu option to delete any LPN record with a zero quantity.

LPN# (License plate number) |
A number to identify a case of inventory in your warehouse. LPNs facilitate the use of radio frequency devices to manage inventory movement and location. The system normally assigns an LPN to a case when you receive a purchase order, and deletes the LPN when you put the case away in a primary location. See Chapter 66: Radio Frequency Overview. You can also use the LPN field in combination with any of the other fields available for scanning. Numeric, 6 positions; optional. |
Item |
This code identifies the unit of inventory contained by the LPN. Item codes are defined in and validated against the Item file. Alphanumeric, 12 positions; optional. |
SKU |
The item's unique characteristics, such as its color and size. Alphanumeric, three 4-position fields (split SKU) or one 14-position field (full SKU); optional. |
Whs (Warehouse) |
The code representing the warehouse where the LPN is located. Warehouse codes are defined in and validated against the Warehouse file. Numeric, 3 positions; optional. |
Location |
This code represents a bin, shelf, or other storage area within a warehouse, or the "intransit" location which indicates that an LPN is in the process of being moved. Location codes are defined in and validated against the Location file. Numeric, 7 positions; optional. |

Display LPN detail |
Enter 5 next to an LPN to advance to the Display License Plate Screen (LPN Detail). |
Purpose: Use option 4 at the Display License Plates Screen to delete an LPN if the LPN information is no longer in synch with actual inventory information; this might occur because of inventory activity that took place outside of the radio frequency subsystem. You might also need to delete an LPN if, for example, you created the record in error.
If you press Enter at the Confirm Delete window, the following window appears:
Affect Inventory
Affect Inventory . N
F3=Exit F12=Cancel |
At this window, you should:
• Enter Y if you want to delete the LPN and subtract the LPN unit quantity from the on-hand quantity for the item;
• Press Enter if you want to delete the LPN without affecting the item's on-hand quantity; or,
• Press F3 or F12 to cancel.
