- Prompt to resolve ambiguous Loc/LP names: Lets warehouse workers specify whether the value entered in a Loc/LP field in the Warehousing Management mobile app identifies a license plate or a location. If a worker enters (or scans) a Loc/LP value that is currently used as a name for both a license plate with physical on-hand and a warehouse location, the app will display a screen that prompts the worker to select Location or License plate.
