Setting up a TWL lot product

  1. Select TWL Configuration > Item.
  2. Use the Search pane to specify the TWL warehouse, and specify lot in the Keyword field.
  3. In the grid, select a predefined record and click the drill down icon.
  4. In the Lot section, ensure the Lot option is selected. This lot control is already selected by the lot control setting in Product Warehouse Product Setup.
  5. Click Edit to access the fields.
  6. Optionally, select an option:
    Same Lot
    When selected, TWL attempts to fill orders from a single lot. If this is not possible, the order or line is zero shipped.
    Shelf Life
    When selected, additional fields are available. Specify this information for products that have a limited shelf life. After an expiration date is reached, operators should not sell from the lot.
    • Receiving Threshold: Specify the number of days before the receiving expiration date. That is, the period before a warning message is displayed during receiving. If the expiration date is going to be reached within the expiration date plus the receiving threshold days, then a warning is shown to the operator and the status is set to Inactive (I).
    • Shipping Threshold: Currently not in use.
    • Days: Specify the number of days used to calculate the expiration date during receiving, when using the Receipt date or Manufacture date option.
    • Calculate Expiration Date From: The expiration date is calculated during receiving based on one of these settings:
      • Expiration date: Each lot can have an expiration date. Select this setting to use the last inventory record of this product's and lot’s expiration date; otherwise the RF operator is prompted for the Expiration date.
      • Manufacture date: Select this setting to use the inventory record for the product's and lot’s expiration date; otherwise the RF operator is prompted for the Manufacture date. The value stored in the Expiration date shown in TWL Configuration-Inventory Detail-Inventory Status Information equals the manufacture date that was specified during receiving, plus the number of shelf life days specified in the Days field.
      • Receipt date: The value stored in the Expiration date equals today’s receipt date, plus the number of shelf life days specified in the Days field.
    • Unavailable At: The unavailable at date is calculated during receiving based on one of these settings:
      • Expiration date: Currently not in use.
      • Shipping Threshold: Currently not in use.
  7. Click Save.
