Receive and Put-Away Goods using LPNs

In this demonstration, I'll cover creation of a receipt and put-away transaction using LPNs. This is the scenario which we'll use. A purchase order has been created. It has three lines: one each for a plain item, a lot controlled item, and a serial controlled item. The ordered quantity is 50. Each is for all three items.

Against this PO, an ASN has been received from the supplier. The supplier has shipped 50 quantity for the three items and has also provided the supplier LPN and lot in serial details. As part of the demo, we'll create a receipt and put-away transaction for this PO. As part of the receipt creation, we'll receive the supplier LPN as it is, and then during put-away, we'll unpack the LPN and will put-away the individual items in different LPNs to be stored in different locators.
