Description
This functionality requires License Plate functionality and physical containers like pallets or boxes where you organize multiple items.
Overview
Feature Video
The receive function receives items into one or more new License Plates.
The key difference from the regular receiving flow is:
Printing License Plate labels beforehand
Scanning the label “pins” the current License Plate to the top of the screen, so it is remembered for all subsequent receive registrations
Video: Receive a single order line into a single License Plate:
Steps:
Select “Receive” function, open an order
Select “Print” action and “License Plate Label GS1” and physically place the label on the container
Print label for the item (optional)Scan the label. Note how the License Plate number gets “pinned” to the top of the screen
Perform line registration(s)
Post the order
A License Plate is identified by a barcode label
These labels are to be physically placed on the containers used as License Plates.
License Plates should always be handled by scanning License Plate labels.
The barcode is represented with GS1 AI “98”
GS1 AI “00” (SSCC) is also accepted when scanning License Plates
Feature Walkthrough
Step 1 - Select an order from Receive function
The Receive function is accessed from the main menu.
Note: This flow focuses on receiving into License Plates.
Please go to Receiving for full details on mobile filtering options, Business Central flow, and supported documents.
Select an order quickly by:
scanning an item
scanning a document number
You can also select an order manually and use filtering.
Tip: Use the scanning function whenever possible.
Step 2 - Print License Plate labels
Select “Print” from the Action Menu
Tip: Print multiple labels in advance
Instead of printing for each line, you can simply print a high number of labels in advance.
Select License Plate Label GS1
Enter Number of Labels (number of plates you expect to be using)
Enter Number of Copies (container has multiple sides for labels)
Select Printer (only shown if multiple printers exist)
Physically place the label on the container.
Step 3 - Scan the label and pin the value
Scan the label and pin the value to the top of the screen
Note that “Active LP:” indicates the active License Plate and that it is remembered for all subsequent registrations.
You can switch between different “Active LP” during the scanning process to support both parallel and sequential creation on new License Plates.
Print label for the item (optional)
Best Practice: We highly recommend printing new Item Labels when you receive items.
All subsequent processes can be scanned using these item labels.
Select an order line
Select “Print” from the Action Menu
Select an Item Label and complete the steps
Repeat this before each line registration or skip this step if your items already have useable labels
Step 4 - Perform line registration(s)
You are now ready to receive each line item into the active License Plate.
Scan the item labels and complete all the line registrations
Physically place the item in the License Plate.
Step 5 - Post the order
Post the order when all lines have been registered.
You can also incrementally use the action menu.
When using Bins and Put-aways
The items are now placed in the receiving bin and a Put-away has been created.
You should proceed to Putting away License Plate (not public).
Is cross-docking supported?
No, it is currently not.
Cross docking opportunities are not calculated when receiving into License Plates.
