License Plate Receive

LPR refers to an industry-wide standard of receiving inventory into a warehouse. It is important because it helps to reduce the errors in the inventory being received and the need for disputes of fees/chargebacks. It also leads to better availability of products by reducing the onboard stowage time. It is a process where multiple items are received by scanning a barcode known as SSCC placed on the outside of every carton, thus eliminating the need to open the carton and scan each item individually.
