An internal container is a logistics unit managed in the receipt flow, internal movements and issues. An internal container can be a pallet a barrel, etc.
You can create identifiers called 'License plate numbers' for these internal containers in two ways:
The creation of license plate numbers is based on the presetting done in the Container function, which provides the reference of the sequence number counter to be used.

In this License plate number function, you can also:
  • View the list of license plate numbers identifying internal containers, regardless of their creation method (by unit or batch)
  • View their content
  • Print the related labels.

    Fields

    The following fields are present on this tab :

    • License plate number (field LPNNUM)

    When a sequence number is linked to the Container setup, a number is automatically assigned upon creating the license plate number. In this case, if you enter a license plate number, it will be overwritten by the sequence number of the container.

    However, if there is no sequence number linked to the container setup, you must enter the license plate number.

    The storage site is initialized by default with the site linked to your function profile.

    This field, which can not be modified, displays the warehouse attached to the selected storage site.
    SEEINFOA location is only associated to a warehouse when the location category is 'Internal' or 'Sub-contractor' and if the storage site manages warehouses.

    Select the container you want to use.
    If a sequence number is linked to the setup of this container, this sequence number will automatically determine the license plate number on creation.
    Only an internal container (License plate number) can be selected.

    • Container type (field TCTRTYP)

    This field cannot be entered. It displays the container type of the selected container.

    Select the container storage location. This location is optional.

    This field is updated based on the stock lines it is associated with. Once the container has content, it can no longer be modified.
    A license plate number (assigned to the container) can only apply to one location.

    This field cannot be entered. It displays the location type for the location.

    • Active (field ENAFLG)

    By default, this check box is selected. It indicates that the license plate number can be used in logistics flows.
    Clear this check box if you do not want the license plate number to be used.

    • Status (field LPNSTAT)

    This field cannot be entered. It indicates if the license plate number is 'Free' or already used and including stock.

    • Printed (field PRTFLG)

    This check box cannot be accessed. It is selected automatically when the license plate number label has been printed. You can thus see which license plate numbers have printed labels and which do not.
