It enables warehouse staff and operations teams to manage the **movement, replenishment, and auditing of materials** across storage areas and production zones. This tool is essential for maintaining production efficiency, reducing stockouts or overages, and ensuring accountability for all material movements in the warehouse. ## How License Plates Work A **license plate** is a unique identifier (typically a barcoded integer) assigned to a container, pallet, or grouping of materials. Instead of tracking individual items separately, the system associates all items within that license plate to a single record. This lets you: * Move, count, or adjust materials in bulk. * Maintain full traceability, since all transactions tied to that plate are logged. * Support flexible actions like moving, merging, or adjusting plate quantities while keeping detailed history for audits. ## What You Can Do Material Handling ### Material Handling The Material Handling feature lets you manage license plate information. Click `Material Handling`, enter a license plate or location code, then manage the associated license plate.
