Set Up Segment Definitions for LPNs

LP Segment Sequence

Enter a number that specifies what sequence this segment is to appear in the license plate number. For example, if the sequence is 1, then the segment appears first when the license plate number is constructed.

Segment Length

Enter the number that specifies the length of this segment of the license plate. A single segment must be from 1 to 40 characters long. The total length of all segments for a branch/plant numbering formula cannot exceed 40 characters.

Segment Type

Select an option to specify the type of license plate segment.

Hard Coded Value
Lookup Type
Container Code Based UDC
Next Number
Check Digit (segment length must be 1 character)
User Defined Function (must be the only segment for the branch/plant numbering formula)

Product Code

Enter a UDC (98/SY) defined for license plate segments. The values should match the segment type selected. The system retrieves a UDC value based on the segment type and uses the UDC description as the value for the segment. If the segment is defined with a length of 10, then the system uses the first ten characters of the UDC description to populate the segment.
