Generating License Plate Numbers

You can generate LPNs using one of the following methods:

  1. Automatically by submitting a concurrent request
  2. Manually by generating LPNs using a mobile device

You can submit a concurrent request to generate multiple LPNs.
1> These LPNs might be associated with a particular container item, or they could be simply labels with no physical container association.

2> Those LPNs can be generated at the subinventory and locator, or they could have no location until they are packed.
For example, assume that you want to assign LPNs to large boxes that will be stored in a particular subinventory and locator. In this case, you can submit a request to direct the system to generate the number of LPNs that you need, based on the parameters that you specify in the concurrent request. In another example, a warehouse manager might pregenerate hundreds of LPN labels and distribute these preprinted labels to the warehouse operators. This way, whenever an operator needs a new LPN, he or she can peel off the next label and use it, rather than having to print a label with each new transaction.

Submitting a concurrent request


To submit the LPN generation request, you must select the Generate License Plates option from the Oracle Warehouse Management Navigator. Next, select Generate LPN as the request that you want to submit, and then indicate the appropriate LPN generation parameters in the Parameters window

Using a Mobile Device to Generate LPNs

LPNs can be generated at their point of use in mobile receipt and task forms. When the cursor is in the LPN field, press Generate to automatically generate the LPN.

The system default shortcut key, for Generate is [CTRL]+[G].

This can be customized for each mobile device. The actual key mapping is stored in the default.ini file
