Adding and Assigning LPNs During Receiving

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for adding License Plate Numbers (LPNs) on both the desktop and mobile versions of our platform.

LPNs are crucial for tracking items through their lifecycle, specifying their form factor, and managing inventory efficiently.

This functionality supports manual entry of LPNs, specification of form factors (pallet, case, carton), selection of specific codes or automatic code generation, ensuring a seamless and consistent experience across devices.

Steps for Adding LPNs

The following steps are applicable for adding LPNs on both desktop and mobile versions of our platform, ensuring a uniform process across devices.

Step 1: Navigate to the LPN Addition Interface

Desktop: Access the platform via your web browser, navigate to the product's receiving screen, and click on the "Add LPN" option.

Mobile: Open the platform's app, go to the product's receiving screen, and tap the "Add LPN" button.

Step 2: Input LPN Information

LPN Entry: Manually enter the LPN associated with the item in the provided field. This unique identifier is crucial for tracking and managing the item.
Form Factor Selection: Select the appropriate form factor for the LPN (e.g., pallet, case, or carton) from the dropdown menu. This helps categorize the item correctly within the inventory system.
Quantity of Codes: Specify the number of unique codes that you intend to generate for this LPN, facilitating accurate inventory tracking and management.

Step 3: Select a Code or Opt for Automatic Generation

Manual Code Selection: If you prefer to use a specific code for the LPN, choose it from the list of available options. This is useful for adhering to pre-defined coding systems or regulations.
Automatic Code Generation: For efficiency or when no specific code preference exists, allow the system to automatically generate a unique code for the LPN, ensuring each item is uniquely identifiable.

Step 4: Confirm and Save LPN Details

Review the information you've entered for accuracy. This includes the LPN, selected form factor, the quantity of codes, and the code itself (if manually selected)
You can print the code.
Confirm and save the LPN to your inventory by clicking or tapping "Submit". This action will officially add the LPN to the system, integrating it into your inventory management workflow.

Note:

Double-check LPN entries for typos or errors to maintain accurate inventory tracking.
Familiarize yourself with form factors to ensure items are categorized correctly, facilitating easier management and retrieval.
Use the automatic code generation feature to streamline the addition process and guarantee unique item identification.
You can use Print option for Products which didn't come with any barcode.
