LPN - License plate number management

This document describes how the management of logistics units integrates with the logistics flows of the application, providing contexts of use.

In Sage X3, logistics units are called 'internal containers', which are identified by license plate numbers. License plate numbers are meant to answer the need that companies have to:

  • Identify internal containers in their stock.

  • Gather products in these internal containers.

  • Fully handle these internal containers.

Each company is free to decide what constitutes an internal container: a pallet, a pack, a barrel, large bags, bins, etc.
A unique license plate number is attached to each container in the form of a label with a bar code.

During the stock receipt, it is therefore possible to link products to this unique license plate number, to track them, and to monitor stock movements.

This How to guide describes the main principles for setting up and using license plate numbers. You will also be guided through the implementation process, using concrete examples.

Screenshots may be noticeably different depending on your product version and/or configuration.
