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
