Maintaining LPNs

Updating LPNs

You can update the attributes of a LPN including:

  1. Weight UOM
  2. Volume UOM
  3. Volume content
  4. Container item

Use the following instructions to update a LPN.
1. Log onto the mobile device.

2. Navigate to Warehousing -> LPN Transactions -> LPN Update.

3. In the LPN field, enter or select the LPN whose attributes you want to update.

4. Update each of the following optional fields as appropriate:
• Weight: This is the weight of the LPN. It defaults to the current weight of the LPN.
• Wt UOM: This is the unit of measure for the weight. It defaults to the current weight unit of measure of the LPN.
• Volume: This is the total volume of the LPN. It defaults to the current volume of the LPN, which is the maximum of the content volume and the container item volume–if one is available.
• Vol UOM: This is the unit of measure for the volume. It defaults to the current volume unit of measure of the LPN.
• Container: This is the container item that is associated with this LPN. It defaults to the current container associated with the LPN. Thus, you could not associate an LPN to a container item, if there are none of that item in the location, or if there are containers but they are all already associated to other container items.
After a LPN has been associated with a container item, it cannot be disassociated or changed.

5. After you update the attributes of this LPN, select <Update LPN> to save your changes to the LPN's attributes.

Reusing Empty LPNs
It is possible to reuse empty LPNs in a warehouse. All empty LPNs will be updated to a state of Defined But Not Used. This allows the LPN to be used from any mobile page as a new LPN for any transaction.

LPNs that have been used for picking but later split so that they are empty will be updated using the Shipping API to unassign them from the original delivery they were picked for. The API will be used to unassign them from the delivery as well as reset all the information on the delivery detail record that pertains to the original Sales Order
(Customer, Ship-To, Ship Method).
