Oracle WMS: LPN

LPN is License Plate Number.

This is nothing but an identification of a certain object which holds Item/Items.
So for understanding, you can say LPN is an identification of a box in which you have kept the item/s whether in your warehouse locations or you have consolidated for shipping or identified for picking or receiving. At any point of time, item/s/group of items can be tracked using one single identification that is called LPN.

•  This can be a physical container or a logical grouping.
•  A single LPN can contain one or many qty of the same or different items
• This is used to store information of items such as LOT, Revision, Serial, Organization, subinventory, locator, etc.
• Contents of an LPN can be tracked during inventory stocking, shipping, receiving, in-transit
• Receiving, Shipping, Picking, Packing of material can be done using LPN
• Onhands can be tracked using LPN
• Multiple items and qty can be transacted using LPN
• Contents can be packed, unpacked, split or updated in LPN
• Labels can be printed based on LPN for the contents inside an LPN
• LPNs can be reused if that is empty or not assigned to any content

Nesting LPN

Oracle WMS allows to use LPN in nested also.

For example, you have made a Combo deal sale for Christmas.

If customer buys 2 laptop units, they will get one USB hub free.

And for better and faster shipment, you have already packed the units and kept for ready to ship.
