    • Set the Change date
    • Identify the Destination license plate number code and set the Destination location if the destination license plate number is not linked to a location
  • The second page is used to select the license plate number to group.
  • The third page is used to validate the creation of the stock change document and validate the stock movement.

Operating mode

  1. In the initial page, check that the Change date and Site default values are correct.
  2. Scan, select or enter the Destination license plate number and the Destination location if the LPN is not assigned to any location. The Select an LPN page automatically displays.

  3. Scan or select the license plate number to group.
    • To group an additional LPN, tap Add LPN. The Select an LPN page displays again automatically. Repeat step 3. To display the View stock by LPN transaction, tap the More actions icon.

  • Scan, select or enter the Destination license plate number.
  • Scan, select or enter the Destination location if the selected destination license plate number is not linked to any location.

You cannot tap Create: First, you need to save at least one LPN grouping.

   
The Select an LPN page displays automatically when the Destination license plate number is selected (if the selected license plate number is linked to a location) or when the Destination location is selected (if the selected license plated number is not linked to any location).
