In Oracle Warehouse Management, a license plate number (LPN) is any object that holds items. Although LPNs are associated with containers, they do not need to represent a physical entity, such as a box. Thus, you can define an LPN as a collection of items. Oracle Warehouse Management enables you to track, transact, and nest LPNs.

You can:

• Receive, store, and pick material by LPN

• View on-hand balances by LPN

• View LPN contents

• Use LPNs to perform transactions

• Print labels and reports for referencing container contents

• Track nested LPNs (for example, cartons on a pallet)

• Pack, unpack, consolidate, split, and update LPNs

• Reuse empty LPNs
