Understanding License Plate Setup

You can track large units of measure, such as a pallet, by assigning an LPN when you create a movement request. For example, you can assign an LPN to a pallet of stereo equipment to locate it easily.

If you use license plate tracking for a particular item or unit of measure combination, the system generates one tracking number for each unit of measure of that item. You should use license plate tracking only for an item's Level 1 unit of measure, the largest in the unit of measure structure, such as a pallet.

You can assign LPNs at the branch/plant level by item, unit of measure or both. For example, a pallet of item ABC may influence a license plate, but a case of item ABC may not. License plates supports mixed lots of both single and mixed items. The system checks item compatibility if items are mixed on a single license plate. You can set up multilevel parent/child license plate nesting structures, such as a license plate within a license plate after the items are on hand in the branch/plant. You can add items to a license plate manually at any time, including after purchase order receipts and manufacturing completions processes.

Note: You can activate license plates for a Branch/Plant only if there are no F4602 records in the table for that Branch/Plant.
