Split IBLPN

The Split IBLPN (rf.inbound.cwrfsplitcntr) mobile transaction enables you to transfer inventory from one IBLPN to another, effectively dividing a single IBLPN into multiple separate IBLPNs. This functionality is useful when distributing inventory across multiple storage locations.

When receiving inventory, it is crucial to perform putaway before splitting or combining multiple LPNs associated with Purchase Orders (PO) or Inbound (IB) Shipments. If you split or combine LPNs before putaway, the link between the LPNs and the corresponding PO or IB Shipment information may be lost. As a result, if you are using putaway to confirm inventory receipt to make the inventory allocatable, any split or combine operation (intended or unintended) before putaway can lead to inventory discrepancies. To avoid this, it is recommended to perform split or combine operations only after completing the inventory putaway.

The following steps describe the basic transaction flow of the Split IBLPN mobile transaction:

1. Invoke the Split IBLPN mobile transaction.
2. Scan or enter an LPN from where the items will be moved (source LPN).
3. Press Enter or click Next.

   When the screen parameter “prevent-split-when-unlock-on-locate” = “Yes”, if you perform LPN split or combine an LPN prior to putaway, the system will prevent the split or combine operation, if the LPN has a lock code (enabled with the "Unlock on Locate to Reserve" flag). This ensures that the PO or IB Shipment details remain linked to the received LPNs and prevents integration errors. Note that this is not applicable to Batch lock code.

   If you are splitting or combining LPNs (has a lock code enabled with the "Unlock on Locate to Reserve" flag) before putaway, it is recommended to first locate the inventory to a location, thereby acknowledging putaway, and then proceed with the split or combine operation.

4. Scan or enter an item that you want to move from the scanned LPN and press Enter or click Next.
   Note: If the scanned LPN is a single SKU LPN, the system skips this step and defaults the SKU.
5. Scan or enter the following details and press Enter:
   • Move Qty
   • Move To LPN
   Note:

   • On the Move To LPN field, scan or enter Destination LPN to where the scanned SKUs will be moved. If the scanned Move To LPN is a new SKU, the system creates a new LPN. If the scanned Move To LPN is an existing SKU, the system adds the scanned items to the LPN.
   • You can use the hotkey “Ctrl-N: Split New Item” to change the SKU details to move.
6. If the scanned LPN is a multi-SKU LPN, scan or enter next item to move from the scanned source LPN and continue further.
7. Once you complete the split, press Ctrl-E: End from Container hotkey.

The screen flow changes based on mobile transaction screen parameters configuration.

You can split an IBLPN using split_lpn API. For detailed API documentation, refer to the WMS REST API Guide.
