LPR

License Plate Receive (LPR) is a streamlined inbound process used in Amazon fulfilment centers to speed up receiving and reduce handling errors. Instead of scanning every product unit, warehouse teams scan a single license plate barcode on the outside of a box, case, or pallet. This barcode (typically an SSCC or AMZNCC) links to a detailed digital manifest of the shipment contents.

Key components of LPR:

• SSCC (Serial Shipping Container Code) - GS1-compliant shipping barcode
• AMZNCC (Amazon Carton Content Code) - Amazon-specific license plate ID
• Shipment contents must be pre-registered and matched to the barcode
• Widely used in 1P Vendor Central and Direct Import workflows
• Reduces manual scanning time and helps avoid misreceipts

Benefits of LPR:

• Faster check-in at fulfilment centers
• Reduces labor costs and errors during receiving
• Supports bulk shipments and high-volume replenishments
• Essential for scaling Amazon’s automated inbound supply chain

💡 Example: A vendor ships 1,000 units across 50 cartons. Each carton is labeled with an AMZNCC. Amazon’s fulfilment center scans one barcode per carton to receive all units instantly.

In short:
LPR (License Plate Receive) is an efficient Amazon receiving method where scanning a single external barcode registers all items inside - saving time and reducing manual work.
