To improve inventory location accuracy after inbound LPN splits, the system now supports capturing the actual destination LPN location at the point the split is completed, both in the Redwood mobile flow and via the Split IBLPN API. This prevents destination LPNs from incorrectly retaining the original split location in the system when they are physically moved. This improves location accuracy for destination LPNs created through splitting. It also reduces inventory discrepancies between system and physical warehouse locations.

New Behavior in Split Inbound Container Mobile Transaction

Now in the Split IB Container mobile transaction  (`rf.inbound.cwrfsplitcntr`), when you end a destination LPN, you have an option for the system to enable a location prompt. 

We’ve added a new screen parameter, prompt-location. When this parameter is set to Yes, when the user ends the destination IBLPN (CTRL-E), the system prompts for a location scan so the destination LPN can be accurately located.

User Flow Behavior

  • Destination LPN remains populated until ended via the hot key.
  • Location prompt is not mandatory
  • If the user scans a location, the system locates/consumes the LPN accordingly and writes the appropriate inventory history.
  • If the user skips the scan, the destination LPN is set to Received
  •  If `prompt-location` is set to Blank/No, the destination LPN continues to be marked Located (current behavior).

Location Types Supported

  • Supports locating primarily to Active, Reserve, and Drop locations.
  • QC handling (conditional):**
    • If the destination LPN is QC-marked, it can only be located to a QC location
    • Scanning a non-QC location for a QC-marked destination LPN (or vice versa) is prevented with clear validation errors.

Split IBLPN API

The Split IBLPN API now supports optionally passing a destination LPN location to align system location with the physical move. To support this, a new payload field, `to_lpn_location` has been added.

The system will validate the location using standard Locate LPN rules, locates the destination LPN to the specified location, and writes the appropriate WMS activities and inventory history.

Steps to enable and configure

To enable a location prompt after Split LPN completion:

  1. For the Split Inbound Container (`rf.inbound.cwrfsplitcntr`), transaction, set the prompt-location parameter to yes.
  2. For the Split IBLPN API, if you pass a valid location barcode in the 'to_lpn_location' field, the system should perform all the location related validation and locate 'to LPNs' to the sent location.
