In Logiwa, the terms license plates (LPs) and LP types are both used to refer to the specific containers where inventory is stored. This includes:
Pallets
Product cartons
Boxes
Ocean freight containers
Any other large containers you use
In addition to their storage function, LPs help with tracking, transferring, receiving and shipping operations in your warehouse, as you can track them with a single scanning action rather than scanning all items on the LP individually.
You will also see these terms used in Logiwa:
LP Types: Refers to various LPs that can be defined in the system (example: Euro Pallet)
LP Numbers/LPN: Numbers that can be created and assigned to each LP type.
Parent LP: LP that other LP can be placed upon.
For instance, pallets and shipment boxes can be created as LP types and those LPs can be assigned with a unique set of LP numbers so that each LP can be identified. Having a variety of LP types in your warehouse helps you to monitor and track processes, such as the movement of your products, both inside and outside your warehouse.
Shipping labels with tracking numbers can also be considered license plate numbers, because they define a unique package and help you to track their movements.
In warehouses, the same logic also applies to different LP types, as movements of pallets or boxes can be tracked with a specific license plate number.
In order to create license plate numbers, all you need to do is to create LP Types in Logiwa.
