Printing License plate for serialized items

Posted on by Lucian.Olteanu

Hi all, I am looking for advice from anyone that has managed to configure Document routing for PO receiving to print 1 label per serial number registered. The issue I am having is that when registering serialized items on a PO, the LP table only retains the 1st serial number registered regardless of how many units are received, therefore the label only being generated for the 1st item. Our client is looking to be able to use the PO receiving as a way to print 1 label/serial number registered (to replace a very time consuming, manual way of generating these labels.

The current set up for PO receiving is to generate LP and Print label.

So although InventTrans has acknowledged 3 serial numbers, the LP shows a qty of 3 but only the 1st serial number is captured...

I have the same question (0)

what D365 process are you using to generate the label as part of your book-in process?

ok, thanks for adding the detail.

Essentially you would need to trigger the print label for each individual serial number.

On the work template add 1 as max unit and the system will generate ( in your example ) 3 different works with 3 different LPs and therefore 3 different labels.

This though implies that the operator will need to repeat the operation for each individual serial number.

However , what we have done in our environment is to generate the number of labels based on the input of the operator which would say how many labels needs to be generated for each line received..

Hi Lucian,

I have never tried but here is what I would suggest you do (hoping it will work for you).

1) Define a Unit Sequence Group ID for your serialised items that looks like so and assign it to your serialied item:

Expectation is that if you receive 5 boxes of 10 ea, 50 LP will be generated (meaning 50 put-away work and 50 license plate labels generated for each. If you have your put-away directed close by, you can put-away in a non-LP location and assemble everything on a new LP (pre-printed?) again before storing.

Thanks Danny, will look into this approach, although a specific requirement is to restrict the number of put-away work generated so solving the label issue would create extra work as the client may receive hundreds of items in one go. Thank you for taking the time to respond, I will see if this is an accepted approach before considering dev..

Hi Lucian,

may I ask you how you have solved the issue of the serialized labels.

I'm facing the same requirement in several projects.

Technically, it is working with the license plate grouping setting, but the system creates a lot of license plates and work IDs...

Kind regards
Raphael
