Hi All ,
AX 2012 R2
I know that to generate the license plate a number sequence will be defined and using this number sequence license plates will be generated.
1. The question is at what transaction level the license plate will be generated ?
2. How can I see all generated license plates in AX 2012 ?
3. How can I see the license plates with qty and without qty ?
4. How can I reuse the same license plate for a purchase transaction ?
5. When it comes to purchase order / Sales return order /production order level , at which scenario new license plate will be generated ?
Can we attach different batch items into one single license plate ?
Thanks in advance.
1. LicensePlateId is a value in InventDim table. Simply, you decide whether you will be tracking your inventory with license plate dimension or not, when creating a warehouse location. However, for a warehouse to be able to accept and issue items, a default receipt location and one or more baydoor locations must be existing.
These two locations must be license plate controlled. By design. There are also staging locations that needs to be license plate controlled but I will pass it since it is not really a part of your question. So, license plate must be used in these two locations, at least. When you are making a transaction related to a license plate controlled location, you may generate a license plate or you can use an existing one. I will explain the "existing" concept in number #5.
2. There is a form in AX, just for this purpose. Please refer to: Warehouse Management/Inquiries/License plates
3. You can open Physical on-hand inventory form located under Warehouse Management/Inquiries, hit "Dimensions display", tick "Licence plate" and filter license plate field with: !""
4. To be able to do this, the license plate must be empty, or not empty but located in the warehouse you are performing your operation at.
5. It is basically up to you. There are many configurations for this functionality and you can activate/deactivate it in many operations. And they are configured on mobile device menuitems. For example, when you are accepting an item in your warehouse, you can let application generate the license plate for you. In this case, you will always have new license plate ids every time this functionality is used. You can also let users enter the license plate id, when this occurs application will check if this license plate id already exists as in #2. If it does not exist then AX will generate it first and let you use it during your operation. If it does exist, then application will do the validations described at #4. If these validations let you use it, you can. Otherwise AX will hopefully stop you. However, I had experiences to face with standard bugs in this validation and ask our developers to fix them. So, it is better to let AX generate it. Or you will need to do some fixes there.
