IBLPNs

Allow Lost LPNs to be Consumed

New functionalities are available in IBLPN Direct Consume API and Inbound LPN UI to consume a LOST LPN.

Consuming a Lost LPN through API

The parameter (num-days-iblpnlost-for-consume) allows external PAAS applications to pass in ‘X’ days since the LPNs are marked as Lost, which makes them eligible for marking the LPNs and for consuming Lost Status LPNs beyond a certain date. Any LPNs which are marked Lost less than "X" days from today, will not be allowed to be marked as Consumed.

POST .../wms/lgfapi/v10/entity/iblpn/{id}/direct_consume/

Category	Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
Options	num-days-iblpnlost-for-consume	Integer	X	Empty or 0	Considers LPNs in status Lost to be consumed according to the number of days that it has been lost. Based on the mod timestamp

Consuming a Lost LPN through Inbound LPN Inquiry

In the Inbound LPN Inquiry screen, an action button Consume LPN lets you configure Container/Can Consume LPN to the relevant group to enable the Consume LPN button. Once enabled, you can select from multiple options for LPNs.

Upon selecting LPNs:

1. Click Consume LPN. The system displays a message box with the following details:

"Number of LPNs Selected for Consume "X". X¿>Denoting number of LPNs.
Text field to enter the number days since Lost for Consumption. Value entered here is used to validate if selected Lost Status LPNs is eligible for consumption or not.
Drop-down to select the reason code. Reason Code selected is stamped on IHT-2 (Consume LPN)
Option to proceed or cancel.
1. Once accepted, the system displays a detailed message ‘X Number of LPN's selected and Y successfully Consumed". Upon clicking More Details, the system displays the LPN numbers which were not consumed.
2. Expand Consume LPN to mark LPNs which is Lost as Consumed.
3. Click Save.

Note: Enable the Group Permission “Container/Can Consume LPN.”

You can consume LPNs that are in Located, Received, or Lost Status for multiple LPNs. Inventory History Transaction (IHT) records will be written after performing Consume LPN with or without a lock code.

Note:

If some of the LPNs you select do not pass validations, the system displays a message alerting you which LPN numbers were not consumed.
Consume LPN updates are made for LPNs that pass successful validations.

Editing Batch Numbers

Currently, Oracle WMS Cloud provides an option from the IB LPN Inquiry screen to update batch numbers for batch tracking items. Some warehouse managers may want the option to prevent batch number edits for certain users based on screen parameter settings.

The allow_edit_batch_nbr screen parameter in the IB LPN Inquiry screen allows you to prevent editing the batch number of an inventory.

Parameter Choice Behavior

When the allow_edit_batch_nbr parameter is set to yes, the batch number field in the edit screen in the IBLPN inquiry will be editable and you can edit the batch number and save.
When the parameter is set to no, you can edit the batch number field in the edit screen in IBLPN inquiry. However, when you Save the edited batch number, the system will throw the error "Cannot change batch number".

UI Screen Parameter Name	Options	Behavior
allow_edit_batch_nbr	yes	User can edit batch number and save.
allow_edit_batch_nbr	no	Batch number field is editable and once you save, the system throws error “Cannot change batch number.”

Printing Labels in the IBLPNs UI

You can distinguish and change printers depending on warehouse location and activity.

After you select the IBLPN record, click the Print Label action button in the IBLPN Inquiry UI > Select the printer from the Printer Name drop-down.
Enter the number of copies (labels) you would like to print per LPN and click Submit.
- If "Number of copies" is greater than 1, the system will complete printing for the first IBLPN, and then move to the next IBLPN.
- If you do not select a printer from the list of printers, and proceed with "Submit", then your default printer will be selected to print the label.
- The sequence of printing the labels will be in the sequence displayed in the IBLPN Inquiry screen.
- A confirmation message will display to let you know that printing is complete.

You can also select a printer and number of label copies when you need to print Blind Labels via the Blind Labels action button:
