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.

1. Store information about an LPN such as item, revision, lot, serial, organization, subinventory, or locator
2. Track contents of any container in receiving, inventory, or in-transit
3. Receive, store, and pick material by LPN
4. View on hand balances by LPN
5. Move multiple items in a transaction by LPN
6. Transfer LPN contents
7. Pack, unpack, consolidate, split, and update LPNs
8. Print labels and reports for referencing container contents
9. Track nested LPNs Oracle Internal & OAI Use OnlyOracle Only
10. Reuse empty LPNs
11. Receive and send LPN information on an ASN

• Oracle Warehouse Management enables you to nest LPNs. For example, pallet LPN P5555 contains three nested LPNs: LPN P5552, LPN P5553, and LPN P5554. In the system, you would see LPN P5555 as the top-level LPN, and each of the of the three box LPNs would fall under LPN P5555.

• You can nest LPNs within other LPNs. In the above example, item A is packed in LPN 2, and LPN1, LPN2, and LPN3 are nested within LPN4. When you transact LPN4, all of the LPNs nested within it are transacted.
