License plating setup

Article07/10/20243 min read

The following steps cover the settings that must be configured initially for the license plate functionality to perform as expected.

General Setup

  1. Select the Search icon , enter License Plating Setup, and then choose the related link.
    The License Plating Setup page opens.
    On the General FastTab, the Multiple Items Allowed toggle is turned on upon installation of the extension.
    This feature permits grouping various item numbers onto a single license plate. Disabling the toggle restricts each license plate to accommodate only one item number.
  2. In the Item Journal Template Name field, select the preferred journal template for transferring selected license plate items to a new license plate.
    This template is employed during license plate transfers through the Move License Plate action, generating a new batch specific to the user. When transferring inventory for a license plate-tracked item to a location without license plate tracking enabled, the system automatically assigns the default license plate number specified in the LP No. Non-License Plating tracked location field.
    This default number applies to all license plates in locations where the Require License Plate Tracking toggle is disabled, such as external locations lacking detailed item storage insights. For more information, see License Plate Tracking per Location.
  3. In the Default Shipping Container Pick LP field, select the default shipping container for partial picking of a license plate. This container will automatically fill when you create a new license plate. Only Packaging Types set up as Shipping Containers in the Aptean Packaging extension can be selected.
  4. In the Label Printing Method field, select RDLC report if an RDLC report must be used to print labels from the license plate list or card. Select Labeling to print the label via the Aptean Labeling extension.
  5. In the License Plate Report ID field, select the RDLC report that will be used to print labels from the license plate list or card. This report will only be used when the option ‘RDLC report’ has been selected in the Label Printing Method field.

Number Series Setup

  1. On the Number Series FastTab, enter the code of the number series that will be used to assign license plate numbers in the License Plate Nos. field. This will be the default number series for license plate creation.
  2. In the Pick License Plate Nos. field, select the number series that will be used when you create a new license plate during partial picking of a license plate.
  3. Select the Unplanned Movement Nos. field to specify the number series used when license plates are moved using the Move License Plate action. A new user-specific batch will be created when using this action. This number series will be filled as a document number in the item reclassification journal line.
