LPN Master Settings

LPN Process On/Off

Select to specify whether the system uses LPNs for the Branch/Plant.

LPN Default Container Code

Enter a UDC (46/EQ) that identifies a storage container or a shipping carton.

For license plates, the specified container code is the default container code for every license plate containing mixed items. Non-mixed LPNs use the container code setup for the specific Item/UOM in Item Unit of Measure Definition (P46011) and not by creating building automatically or a UOM structure. You can override this default container code for a license plate only if it was created automatically or by UOM structure.

LPN Generation Method

Enter the value, UDC (46L/LG), to indicate what license plate number generation method the system uses for the branch/plant. Values are:

Enter 01: for manual entry. The system does not automatically create LPNs. You must manually enter the license plate number.

Enter 02: to create using a user-defined formula. A user-defined formula enables you to specify how the system creates LPNs. This method is similar to that of the tracking numbering used in pick, pack, and ship. To use this method at any time, you must set up the formula at the branch/plant level in License Plate Segment Definition (P46L010).

Enter 03: to create EPC (electronic product code) number. The system uses the Electronic Product Code processes to create the license plate number.

License Plate Status Code

Enter a UDC (46L/SC) to set a License Plate Status Code for the License Plate Number. Examples of possible UDC status codes are 01 for open and 02 for close.
