<summary>Explanation</summary>

Some resources require an export to generate plates, as this export should also verify the license plates in the database so that they do not duplicate.

For example, [**esx\_policejob**](https://github.com/esx-framework/esx_policejob/blob/b3b729fe0f71721277f2285bfe71b266dca23c13/client/vehicle.lua#L244) uses the **generatePlate** export from **esx\_vehicleshop**, then replace it with the following export.
