Introduction
License Plating is a concept covering different activities in the warehouse where you can benefit from grouping items and other Licenses Plates into a single entity.
This entity is identified by a unique License Plate number and will enable you to handle a large number of mixed and tracked Items in a simple process.
License Plating
A single License Plate can contain multiple items and other License Plates.
This enables you to build a hierarchy structure with License Plates, an example could be a pallet (License Plate) containing multiple boxes (License Plates) containing Items.
Data Structure
The License Plate definition is created in these tables "MOB License Plate" and "MOB License Plate Content" in Business Central.
The definition of each License Plate is built and maintained when using Mobile WMS features.
Table "MOB License Plate"
License Plate has a mandatory unique "Number", "Location Code", and "Bin Code".
If the License Plate is related to a Warehouse Document, the fields "Warehouse Document Type" and "Warehouse Document Number" will be used.
Table "MOB License Plate Content"
License Plate Content is always related to only one parent License Plate, specified in the "License Plate No." field.
License Plate Content has a "Type" of either Item or License Plate and the "No." field specifies the related number of the Item or License Plate.
Unbound to standard Business Central tables
License Plate is unrelated to the standard entry tables in Business Central like "Item Ledger Entries" and "Warehouse Entries".
This also means that it is possible to "break" a definition of a License Plate if you use the standard journals in Business Central and start to adjust or move Items in your inventory.
