Article07/10/20244 min read

You can use the Move License Plates function to move just a part of a license plate to an existing or new License Plate, from one Location/Bin Code to the same or to another 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. On the Move License Plate page, select the license plate number that should be moved. The Shipping Container Code, Location Code, and Bin Code fields will auto-populate, displaying 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. In the Movement Type field, select Partial to move a part of the license plate contents between location/bin codes.
  4. Fill in the Quantity to Move field on the License Plate Contents FastTab for the items/lot numbers requiring relocation.
Note

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.

  1. On the action bar, select Assign new License Plate No. action to automatically populate the New License Plate No. field.
  2. Fill the New Shipping Container Code, New Location Code and New Bin Code fields.
    You can also select an existing License Plate instead of creating a new license plate number.
    When selecting an existing license plate that already holds inventory, the New Shipping Container Code, New Location Code and New Bin Code fields will not be editable and shows the current location/bin where the license plate is stored.
  3. On the action bar, select Post and close to initiate movement of the items.
Note
  • If you try to move a license plate that has the Blocked toggle turned on in the License Plate Card page or if the license plate has already been selected in a document, you will run into an error when selecting such a license plate.
  • You can move the contents of a License Plate to an existing license plate, or to a new license plate using the function Assign new License Plate No.
  • If you try to move a license plate with multiple lots when the Multiple Lots Allowed toggle is turned off in the General FastTab of the License Plating Setup page, you will see the following error: The License Plating Setup specifies that license plates are not allowed to carry multiple lots and License Plate already has Lot on inventory.
  • While moving the license plate in the Move License Plate page and choosing a New Location Code that does not require license plate tracking, the New License Plate No. field is automatically filled with the value selected in the License Plate No. Non-License Plating tracked location field in the License Plating Setup page.
  • When the license plate number is fully used for a warehouse pick and the New License Plate No. field is not empty, the system will check if there’s enough quantity left on the original license plate for the requested move. If not, an error occurs. This prevents moving the license plate because the entire license plate is already in use.
  • When you Post and close the Move License Plate page for partial movement, the system will check for the existing and new license plate numbers and if there’s enough quantity to move the specified amount. If the quantity is insufficient, an error will occur. When trying to Post and close the Move License Plate page with full movement, an error will occur if any part of the license plate number is already linked to a warehouse pick.
  • You cannot move the license plate when it is fully used during the Warehouse Pick, Inventory Movement, and Inventory Pick. These checks remain applicable even in cases where the license plate number includes multiple items and lots.
  • During movement on the Move License Plate page, if you select a new location code that requires license plate tracking but a new bin code that doesn’t, the New License Plate No. field will auto-fill with the value from the License Plate No. Non-License Plating tracked location field on the License Plating Setup page.
