Introduction to License Plates

A License Plate groups multiple items together, allowing them to be treated as a unit.

When a License Plate is created with content, it must be treated like a sealed entity to benefit from the different WMS processes with License Plate support.

  • Identified by a single barcode on License Plate labels

  • It can contain other license plates and their items, forming a hierarchical tree structure

  • Supports both single or mixed Items with or without Item tracking specified.

  • Contents can be altered using the appropriate Mobile WMS functions

Commonly used containers

Boxes and pallets are common, but any container can be used, as long as it can have a label on it.

Supported functionality

License plates should always be handled by scanning License Plate labels.

These labels are to be physically placed on the containers used as license plates.
