Scan license plate

Conditional branch: reached only when the part uses 2D labels and a license-plate skid id is required (SkidLicensePlateWiz). Otherwise the flow skips straight past this step.

Double-clicking a value jumps back to its step (SkipToCollectionStep).

Branch step — not on the default path. Reached after Part Number (2D label + plate required) and again after Serial; the panel self-skips when no plate is required. Shown here so the click-through covers it.

Validation

V-SLP-01Skid ID required — blank → “A Skid Id is required.”
V-SLP-02Plate must exist — unknown ID → “Skid License Plate not found for Skid Id: …” plus reassignment-chain hint when it was replaced. ❌ No web endpoint yet.
V-SLP-03Scanned serial must be on the plate, else “The serial number of the unit scanned was not found on the Skid License Plate.” ❌ No web endpoint yet.
V-SLP-04Scanned model must be on the plate (“The model number of the unit scanned was not found…”). ❌ No web endpoint yet.
V-SLP-059-year duplicate — plate ID claimed within 9 years blocks; escape hatch generates a new Skid ID (forces partial claim). ❌ No web endpoint yet.
V-SLP-06Auto-skip — step hidden entirely when the line config does not require license plates.
