To change location/bin of a license plate

Article07/10/20243 min read

With the Move License Plates function, you can move all the contents of a license plate from one location/bin code to a different location/bin code by just selecting the license plate number, and the desired location/bin code.

  1. Select the Search icon , enter Move License Plate, and then choose the related link.
    The Move License Plate page opens.
  2. Select the desired license plate number that should be moved. The Shipping Container Code, Location Code, and Bin Code fields will be automatically filled in and displays where the license plate is currently stored.
    Note

    While using the Aptean License Plating extension in conjunction with the Aptean Catch Weight extension, Item Weight Ledger entries are created along with Item Ledger Entries for catch weight items during the partial movement of license plates. To know more, see here.

  3. On the License Plate Contents FastTab, the lines are automatically filled with the item(s), variant(s), quantities, and lot number(s) that are stored on the selected license plate.
    You can view the global lot attributes and MWR fields only if Aptean Advanced Attributes extension is installed in the system. To know more, see here.
  4. Set the Movement Type field with Full to transfer all license plate contents between location/bin codes.
    This action automatically populates the Quantity to Move with the total Quantity of items stored on the License Plate Contents FastTab. When relocating a license plate entirely, you cannot select a new license plate number or shipping container code for the destination. The new license plate number applies solely when transferring a portion of the items. For more information, see To move Partial License Plate to an existing or new License Plate.
  5. Select a New Location Code and a New Bin Code to which the license plate will be relocated.
  6. On the action bar, select Post and close to initiate movement of the items. The system automatically posts a reclassification journal for the transaction and relocates the license plate.
Note

You can perform the Move License Plate function in the following ways.

  • Open the License Plates list page, select the No. to move, and then select Move License Plate on the action bar.
  • Open the License Plate Card page, on the action bar, select Actions > Functions > Move License Plate.
Note
  • When moving a license plate on the Move License Plate page and opting for a New Location Code that doesn’t mandate license plate tracking, the New License Plate No. field inherits the value from the License Plate No. Non-License Plating tracked location field on the License Plating Setup page.
  • During license plate movement on the Move License Plate page, if a New Location Code field requiring license plate tracking is selected alongside a New Bin Code field that doesn’t require tracking, the New License Plate No. field inherits the value from the License Plate No. Non-License Plating Tracked Location field on the License Plating Setup page.
  • You cannot move the license plate in the following scenarios:
    • If the Blocked toggle is enabled on the associated License Plate Card page.
    • If the license plate is already assigned to a document.
