Partial License Plate Movement

Article05/14/20245 min read

While the current Unplanned Partial Movement feature remains available, users now have the option to execute the new Partial LP Move mode to partially transfer a license plate between bins or existing license plates within the location.

Earlier with Take and Put functionality, it was possible to move the entire quantity from one License Plate to another. With the use of Partial License Plate functionality, the desired quantity can be moved from an existing License Plate to a new or existing License Plate.

With the use of Partial License Plate functionality, the desired quantity can be moved from an existing License Plate to a new or existing License Plate more efficiently in fewer steps.

You can move homogenous and heterogenous License Plate to an existing License Plate or new License Plate.

  1. In the Identifier field, scan the license plate no. mentioned on the License Plate Card page in Business Central.
    The Lot no., Item, and Quantity are displayed on the Move screen.
  2. Enter Quantity.
    When the item has a single item and lot, it is not required to enter the lot and item number.
  3. In the Identifier field, scan the existing license plate.

In case of Heterogeneous License Plate, for one item with multiple lots, execute the following steps:

  1. In the Identifier field, scan the License Plate no. mentioned on the License Plate Card page in Business Central.
  2. Since there is one item with multiple lots, scan the lot no. in the Identifier field.
  3. Enter Quantity.
  4. Enter the license plate that you want to move the items to, in the Identifier field.

For multiple items with multiple lots, execute the following steps:

  1. In the Identifier field, scan the License Plate no. mentioned on the License Plate Card page in Business Central.
  2. Since there are multiple items with multiple lots, scan the item and then the lot no. on the Identifier field.
  3. Enter Quantity.
  4. Enter the license plate that you want to move the items to, in the Identifier field.

You can scan the License Plates with GS1 Application Identifiers on any of the above-mentioned steps. To know more, see Parse GS1 barcode at move.

Note


  • When the user wants to move items from an existing License Plate to a new License Plate, the scanning of the new LP should be based on the New License Plate No. Pattern defined on the Mobile Setup page in Business Central, followed by the otherwise an error would occur in the Move screen in the MWR app.
  • In contrast to the Take/Put mode, mobile scan entries (information sent to BC) occur only upon completion of the process. Consequently, if the user halts the process early, no action is taken in Business Central.
  • Unlike the Take/Put mode, the system does not move the License Plate to the user bin. Instead, users are advised to have their own license plate for relocating it.
    You can move the items or lots from one License Plate to the other by choosing the License Plate to which you intend to move a partial quantity. Prior to moving the items or lots, you must perform the following setups on Business Central:

    • On the Default Shipping Container Move LP field, choose a relevant type of packaging from the Select – Packaging Types list.
    • On the License Plating Setup page, in the Unplanned Movement Nos. field, choose the relevant No. Series from the Select – No. Series list.
