   Disabling LPN

   After you enable LPNs and use them in your inventory transactions but later you decide to stop using Advanced Inventory Management, then to undo features, such as LPN control and task management would've significant impact on your day-to-day inventory transactions.

   You can disable an organization for an LPN if no subinventories or locators are defined as LPN enabled. To identify what needs to be disabled, you can use Print Pending Inventory Activities report to review this list:

   • On-hand balances with LPN references.
   • Pending cycle counts and physical inventories for LPN-enabled subinventories or locators.
   • Open shipments with shipment lines associated with LPNs.

   Note:

   You can choose to disable subinventories or locators for LPN control only when the report doesn't list any on-hand inventory, pending cycle counts, physical inventories, or open shipment lines with LPN references.
