Combining / Splitting IB LPNs

If two or more IB LPNs for the same item need to be combined into a single LPN, you can do this through the “Split Cntr” RF module. This module is used to either split or combine two IBLPNs into one IBLPN.

  1. Go to the RF transaction “Split Cntr”.
  2. Scan the LPN that needs to be moved into another LPN or from which part of the inventory it will be moved.
  3. Scan the SKU Barcode of the item being moved to the other LPN.
  4. Enter the quantity that will be moved from the old LPN to the new LPN.
  5. If the LPN is being combined, enter the full quantity being moved.
  • If the entire quantity of the original LPN is being moved, the original LPN will be cancelled. Press ‘CTRL-A’ to accept.

RF Combine OBLPN

When you are using the RF Combine OBLPN (rf.outbound.cwrfcombineoblpn) transaction, with the screen parameter prompt-oblpn-type was set to User Driven, the system will pre-populate the 'LPN Type' from the 'To LPN'.

When the RF Combine OBLPN screen parameter prompt-oblpn-type = User Driven:

  1. If the scanned 'To LPN' is an existing LPN and has 'LPN Type' defined, then the system retrieves the 'LPN Type' and pre-populates it in the RF screen. Users can modify the LPN Type by overriding the LPN Type value.
  2. If the scanned 'To LPN' is an existing LPN and does not have LPN Type defined, then the system prompts the user to provide a value. The system will proceed with the transaction only if the user inputs a valid LPN type in the system. Otherwise, the system displays an 'LPN Type Not Found' error message.

NOTE: Whenever LPN Type is pre-populated on the screen, you still have to tab out/pass the "LPN Type" field to continue.

Asset Handling in RF Combine OBLPN

The following behavior depicts pre-population of 'LPN Type' for asset during RF Combine OBLPN:

Facility Parameter>>REUSABLE_TOTES = 'yes':

  • If the Asset scanned for "To LPN" is in 'In Warehouse' status, then the system fetches the LPN Type from the Asset entity and displays it on screen.
  • If the scanned Asset does not have LPN Type, the system allows users to update the existing LPN type.
  • On ending the transaction, the LPN type is updated and the OBLPN is linked to the Asset.
  • If the asset scanned is in 'In Use' status, then the system fetches the LPN Type from the OBLPN linked to the asset and displays it on screen.
  • On completing the transaction, the existing OBLPN (with the same asset number) is updated with the other inventory.

Facility Parameter>>REUSABLE_TOTES = 'no':

  • If an Asset is scanned for "To LPN", LPN type will not be fetched from the Asset.
  • On completing the transaction, a new OBLPN having the same asset number is created with the LPN type, but the OBLPN will not be linked to the Asset.
  • If the Asset scanned is "In use" status, where the OBLPN and asset share the same number but without an LPN type, the system prompts the user to input the LPN type value.
