When receiving an ASN with parent and child LP, unpacking is required if you intend to transfer the parent license plate along with the child license plates to another warehouse. Currently, the only transfer feature supporting the transfer of the parent license plate with child license plates is a mobile device menu item called 'Warehouse transfer'.
If you attempt to perform this transfer via a transfer order, the warehouse app either generates an error after performing the pack to nested LP, or it suggests generating a new license plate, which disrupts the packing structure. It would be beneficial if the transfer logic for a parent license plate from the warehouse transfer also functioned for transfer order picking.

Hi Laurens,Just a quick note on something we’re running into a lot — and I know other companies are struggling with this too.Right now, when we receive an ASN that includes a parent license plate with child license plates, it becomes a real pain if we want to transfer that structure to another warehouse using a transfer order. The only scenario where the parent LP and its child LPs can be transferred together correctly is through the Warehouse transfer menu on the mobile device.But the moment we try doing this with a transfer order, things break down. Either the system throws an error after packing into a nested license plate, or it forces us to create a new license plate — which basically undoes the packing structure we just set up. That’s not ideal, and it's slowing us down.The bigger issue is that we’re stuck scanning every child license plate individually. That’s a lot of scanning, and it's easy to make mistakes. It would make a big difference if we could just scan the parent license plate and let the system carry the child LPs along with it — like it already does with the warehouse transfer flow.Would be great if the same logic could apply to transfer order picking. Any chance that’s on the roadmap or if there’s a workaround we’re missing?Paul Demarbaix Driven By Passion BV

Thank you for your feedback. Currently this is not in our roadmap; however, we are tracking it and if we get more feedback and votes, we may consider it in the future.
