Auto Generate Inbound LPN Numbers
The receiving modules Receive by Load and Receive by Shipment can be configured to auto generate Inbound LPN numbers for blind LPN receiving.
Configuration Steps
- Go to the Screen Configurations tab.
- Select the RF receiving module and click on Details. This will display all the parameters for the selected RF module.
- Select the “lpn-prompt” parameter. Click Edit.
- From the “Module parm choice” drop-down, select the desired option.
You can configure the “lpn-prompt” screen parameter with one of the following options:- Mandatory: LPN prompt is displayed and you have to be enter/scan an LPN Nbr while receiving blind LPNs.
- Not mandatory: LPN prompt is displayed. However you have the option to either enter/scan an LPN Nbr OR tab out of the prompt without entering LPN Nbr. If an LPN Nbr is not entered, system auto generates the LPN Nbr.
- Auto Generate: LPN prompt is not displayed. LPN Nbr is auto generated by the system. If this parameter is not configured, system will default to the behavior described for the option Mandatory above.
To enable auto populate for pallet numbers in RF Receiving, set pallet-auto-generate to palletize up front mode.
Auto Generate Pallet Numbers
You don’t have to scan a pallet every time you receive a shipment in upfront palletization mode for the following receiving modules RF Recv {lpn} Load, RF Recv {lpn} Shipment, and RF Recv Single Sku.
The pallet-auto-generate parameter allows you to skip the pallet scan. This is perfect for scenarios where the pallet label is not available. The system will auto populate the pallet number based on the blind pallet number sequence counter.

| Parameter type | Selection |
| Parameter options | Blank, Yes, No |
| Default behavior | Blank (acts as No) |
- The pallet-auto-generate only works if the pallet-handling screen parameter is set to palletize up front mode. If not the pallet prompt is mandatory.
- When the pallet-auto-generate parameter is set to Yes, users are not required to scan the pallet number. Instead they can tab and the system will generate a pallet number as per the BLIND_PALLET_NBR sequence counter. However, in this mode, users can scan the pallet number as well (this is optional).
RF Palletize - Auto Generate Pallet Numbers
In the RF Inbound Palletize (rf.inbound.cwrfpalletizeplt) module, the pallet-auto-generate parameter allows you to auto generate a pallet number based on the Blind Pallet number sequence counter.
