Receiving a warehouse transfer with serial or lot products

Serial and lot number assignment is determined by options in SA Administrator Options-Products and the control settings on Product Warehouse Product Setup records. If Assign Serial # During Receiving is selected, you must assign serial numbers when you receive the transfer. If a product requires number assignment, a message is displayed in the Status Information column.

  1. Select Transfer > Entry > Receipt of Inventory.
  2. Search for a transfer, and then open it.
  3. Click OK to open a journal.
  4. Select a line that requires serial or lot number assignment, and then specify the quantity received.
  5. Click the Serial or Lot button.
  6. If the product is serial-controlled, scan or manually specify the serial number in the Serial # field, and then click Add/Select Serial. Optionally, click New to specify a serial number. Click Save after the quantity is fully allocated.
  7. If the product is lot-controlled, auto-assign or manually create a new lot, or assign the products to an existing lot. Click Save after the quantity is fully allocated.

    To assign products to a new lot, click Auto Assign, if available. Specify the number of lot numbers required and the total quantity of product to receive.

    To create new lot numbers manually:

    1. Click New.
    2. Specify a new lot and the quantity to assign to the lot.
    3. Complete the other fields, and then click OK.

    To assign products to an existing lot:

    1. Click Lookup.

    3. Select Assign, and then specify the quantity.
    4. Complete the other fields, and then click OK.

    Optionally, to create an initial dimensional cut record for each lot received, to be stored in Product Extended Lot Number Setup and referenced in Sales Order Entry or Sales Linear Cut Maintenance Entry during lot allocation, use these steps:

    1. Select a lot from the Lot Entry grid.
    2. Click Cuts.
    3. Specify the Number of Pieces that make up the lot’s quantity. This determines an initial quantity of cuts for the lot.
    4. Optionally, specify a Condition Code for the cut piece.
    5. Specify the Length of each piece in the lot. This determines an initial length for each of the lot’s pieces.
    6. Click Save.
