but does your system let me determine
Where should I pick this order line from?
Where should I put this receipt away to?
Who is best qualified to perform this activity?
What container should I use to pack this delivery?
What is the best way to organize my picking wave?
What label does this customer want on this delivery?
How can I automatically adjust this all day-to-day, warehouse-to-
warehouse, customer-to-customer, ?
and how can I do this without customization?

A license plate number (LPN) represents any object that exists in a location and
holds items.
All material received through Oracle WMS is associated with a unique LPN. This
enables material to easily be tracked and transacted throughout your warehouse
without scanning the item, quantities, lots or serial numbers.
It can be box, crate, truck, basket, pallet, vat, tank
LPN can do Pack, Consolidate, Unpack

Advantages of Barcode Labels
Barcode allows the information to be read fast, with accuracy, and with 1
in 1 million substitution error rate.
It Virtually Eliminates Data Entry Efforts, Errors & Increases Speed.
Barcode Makes Higher Level of Information Tracking Possible
It also Allows to Embed the High Volume & Complex Data Information in
Less Space
Linear Barcode are usually capable of encoding numbers and letters while
Advanced 2D Barcodes are capable of encoding large amounts of data in
a very small barcode.
