If you setup an item with a Storage dimension group enabling Advanced warehouse processes (WHS) the Licence plate dimension is Active, and allows Blank issue and Blank receipt.
But when you transact this item in a WMI (not Advanced warehouse), although you can enter a Licence plate on a receipt, the Licence plate doesn't get written to the inventory transaction.
I've done quite a few implementations in Manufacturing companies where they track production receipts by pallet id. In AX 2009 they purchased the WMII module just to activate the pallet id, and in AX 2012 only use the pallet id as a tracking dimension without using any other WMII functions.
We're currently going through a couple of AX 2009 upgrades, and trying to figure out how we can implement pallet tracking - maybe we'll have to use serial, but it's not as good a fit as a Licence plate.

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.
We do have a general theme "one warehousing" where we mid- to long-term would like to only have one common WMS.
The scenario you describe is interesting and understandable, we will include it under that theme.
Sincerely,
