License Plate Processing—Basic Navigation

JDE License Plate Processing Basic Navigation

By Neil Hazle

Editor's Note: We all love a mystery… except when it comes to figuring out new software that has interface and navigation that are outside the norm we are used to. This article de-mystifies the navigation for JDE's License Plate application, showing us what is and is not accessible through the Workbench, and how to view and maintain your warehouse License Plate data.

Introduction You have decided to implement JDE License Plate Processing. Who doesn’t want nice, neat, big bar codes

clearly identifying every pallet in the warehouse?

You decide to play with the programs in JDE, but they are a bit bizarre. Ever since the beginning of JDE time,

if you learned how to navigate one JDE program, you knew them all. It’s all right there in the friendly

Navigation Bar.

But not the License Plate system. In several programs the developers went a different route here, creating a

mystifying new navigation system. You could spend days or weeks figuring it out through trial and error.

Who’s got that kind of time?

Hmm, when all else fails, read the manual. What?! Not helpful? Like much of the JD Edwards suite, the

documentation might tell you what you CAN do, but not HOW to do it.

With nearly every other subject in the universe, someone, somewhere, has taken the time to post the

answers on the web where Google can find it. Not with JDE. You are on your own.

So now I will de-mystify basic License Plate navigation. Like everything else, it’s easy when you know how

to do it.

One thing: when you go live, you will most likely have DSI or RF Gen (or another software) on some kind of

handheld wireless device which will provide a simple front-end to all these transactions. In my experience,

wireless scripts are MUCH easier to navigate than the actual desktop applications. However, you obviously

need to be able to do these transactions directly in JDE as a starting point.

This article applies to E1 V8.12 and above.

The License Plate Workbench In Figure 1 we see the menu of options in License Plate Daily Processing. We will start with the first one,

the License Plate Workbench (P46L10).

Warehouse Management > License Plate Management > License Plate Daily Processing > License Plate

Workbench

With a name like Workbench, it certainly seems like it ought to be the central home for all License Plate

information and activity. Well, not quite.

Here’s the Workbench (Figure 2), and I clicked Find with no search criteria to bring up every License Plate

in my system.
