Article04/10/20246 min read

We ordered items from vendor 95820 Mortimor Brewery LPN and today we are receiving the order.

Check Setup

The vendor 95820 Mortimor Brewery LPN has no mandatory License Plate registrations.

Vendor 95820 will deliver 10 Pallets item 1512 MORTIMOR LAGER CASE 12X50CL FIFO LPN.

Item 1512 MORTIMOR LAGER CASE 12X50CL FIFO LPN has License Plate Mandatory, for all processes.

Now to check the LPN Quantity Inbound Restriction.

We have 3 options:

  • Not Enabled: Standard BC, no restrictions
  • Multiple Lot Nos.: One License Plate can contain multiple Lot No.’s and the total quantity on the LPN, cannot be more than the quantity stipulated in the Item Unit of Measure with the code equal to the Default Pallet UOM on the Adv. Warehouse Setup.
  • Single Lot No.: One License Plate can contain only one Lot No.’s and the total quantity on the LPN, cannot be more than the quantity stipulated in the Item Unit of Measure with the code equal to the Default Pallet UOM on the Adv. Warehouse Setup.

Most companies will only want to receive one item, with one Lot No. per

License Plate No. The Single Lot No. option.
When those companies receive two Lot No.’s or items on one License Plate
Number, they divide the different items and Lot Nos on different License
Plates. Print and apply the correct labels to the license plates and
post them accordingly. This keeps the logic throughout the company, to
find only one item with one Lot No. on one License Plate in the
warehouse.
