Setting Up License Plate Numbering Constants

Access the License Plate Numbering Constants form.

Note: This numbering method is the default value. You can override this number at any time when creating the license plate and during certain transactions, such as PO Receipts, work order completion, PO receipt routing, inventory adjustments, and inventory transfers. Also, data collections can also scan or read the LPNs and send them into the system to create the license plates.

LPN Switch

Enter 0: and the system does not use LPNs for the Branch/Plant.

Enter 1: to use LPNs for the Branch/Plant.

LPN 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 create 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.
