Hello everyone,

I'm writing this post because I have the following need: upon receiving a purchase order from WMS, I need to be able to divide the merchandise into different LPs. For example, I have a purchase order of 10,000 units and I would like to be able to automatically divide it into 100 LPs of 100 units each upon receipt. Currently, I receive everything in a single LP of 10,000 units. Another option would be a way to divide that LP into 100. I have reached this point in the menu item, but I get an error saying that multiple LPs cannot be received and located.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

split License Plate in Purchase Order

Good day,

In addition to the answer of Sagar. You can also consider to configure a maximum quantity on the work template for purchase orders:

If you configure for example a maximum of 100, the system will automatically split the work and license plates.

split License Plate in Purchase Order

Hi,

You can automatically split large received quantities into smaller put-away tasks by utilizing the license plate grouping functionality.

See below

1 - Item setup for unit sequence group and unit conversions as below

unit conversions as below

2 - Create a purchase order for an item for 500 Pcs

3 - Setup mobile device menu to allow for license plate grouping

4 - Receive all 500 pcs in mobile device in one go. (System will automatically split the quantity)

5 - System generated 5 put away work for 1 PL each. Every pallet has its own license plate number. all set for the Fork lift guy to move them to racking.

So license plate grouping is sued to group all units smaller than PL in this case and in another sense split a bulk qty into 5 PLs. Its all perspective.

Also you can do user defined split which is an option in the mobile device menu.

For instance, if the user specifies a quantity of 4 and selects the unit as a pallet (PL), the system will generate four license plates, each representing 1 pallet (1 PL).
