Overview
When transferring or putting away inventory from an LP into a location that doesn't use LP tracking, Logiwa IO can automatically remove the LP (License Plate) association before the inventory is stored — instead of requiring a manual LP-removal step.
The Auto Remove LP After Transfer setting eliminates that manual workaround. When enabled on a location, Logiwa IO automatically drops the LP association as soon as a Transfer LP/Tote or Directed Putaway — LP Putaway operation completes into that location, storing the inventory without an LP reference. This happens in the background and does not change the operator's scanning workflow.
When to Use It
Enable Auto Remove LP After Transfer on a location when:
The location is an Active Pick (or other non-LP-tracked) location where items are stored loose, without physical LP labels
Inventory is regularly moved into this location from LP-tracked source LPs via Transfer LP/Tote or Directed Putaway
Setup Instructions
Enable Auto Remove LP After Transfer on a Location
Navigate to Warehouse Setup → Locations.
Find the location you want to configure and click to open it, or click Create Location to set up a new one.
Open the Information tab in the sidebar.
Scroll to the Location Rules section.
Click the Auto Remove LP After Transfer pill to select it. The pill highlights when active.
Click Save. Repeat for each location where LP removal on transfer/putaway is required.
💡 Tip: For bulk configuration, use the Auto Remove LP After Transfer column on the Location Excel import/update file with a value of TRUE for each applicable location, and import via Warehouse Setup → Locations → Import or Update.
How It Works
Once Auto Remove LP After Transfer is enabled on a location, the following applies:
During Transfer LP/Tote or Directed Putaway — LP Putaway (mobile or desktop): The operator or desktop user completes the transfer exactly as today — no change to the scanning or click sequence.
At completion: Logiwa IO checks whether the actually confirmed destination has Auto Remove LP After Transfer enabled.
If the destination is a location with the setting on → inventory is stored at the destination with the LP association removed.
If the destination is a location with the setting off (or not configured) → standard behavior, LP association is preserved.
If the destination is an LP (including child LP → parent LP, or any LP-to-LP transfer) → the setting is ignored entirely, even if a related location has it enabled. LP association is always preserved for LP-to-LP transfers.
Source LP record: The source LP's quantity is reduced by the transferred amount. If it reaches zero, the LP record remains in the system with a quantity of 0 — it is not deleted.
Overridden destinations: If the operator overrides the suggested destination and confirms a different location, Logiwa IO evaluates the setting on the actual confirmed destination — not the originally suggested one.
Open API: The same logic applies to POST /v3.1/Inventory/transfer/location-license-plate, but only when the source is an LP and the destination is a location. All other combinations (LP-to-LP, location-to-location, location-to-LP) ignore the setting.
Independent from Auto Remove LP After Replenishment: This setting is separate from and does not affect Auto Remove LP After Replenishment. Replenishment transactions continue to follow their own setting independently.
Common Questions & Edge Cases
Does this affect my operator's scanning steps? No. The scanning/click sequence is unchanged — only what happens after completion differs.
Does this apply to LP-to-LP transfers? No. If the destination is an LP (including child-to-parent LP or any LP-to-LP transfer), the setting is ignored entirely and LP association is always preserved, even if a related location has the setting enabled.
What happens if all units from a source LP are transferred to a flagged location? All inventory is stored at the destination with the LP association removed. The source LP's quantity reaches 0, but the LP record remains in the system — it isn't deleted.
Does this affect picking, receiving, replenishment, or counting? No. This setting only applies to Transfer LP/Tote and Directed Putaway — LP Putaway completion. All other flows, including replenishment (which has its own separate setting), are unaffected.
What if the operator overrides the suggested destination? Logiwa IO evaluates the setting on the actual destination confirmed at completion, not the originally suggested one.
Does this work via Open API? Yes, for POST /v3.1/Inventory/transfer/location-license-plate, but only when the source is an LP and the destination is a location. Other combinations are unaffected.
