Product Extended Lot Number Setup - General overview
Use this page to set up extended lot numbers for products. Lots must exist in Product Extended Lot Number Setup before they can be sold in Sales Order Entry or transferred in Transfer Entry.
Lots differ from serial numbers because a serial number is one record per unit whereas a lot contains several units per record. You may sell from a lot until all quantities are depleted.
Product Extended Lot Number Setup is not used often. The most frequent use is inquiring on existing records.
After you receive a lot product through a purchase order or transfer, the Product Extended Lot # record is updated with the allocated quantity. In Purchase Receipt of Inventory Entry or Transfer Receipt of Inventory Entry, lot records must be entered for each lot product. Lot numbers for build-on-demand kit components are carried to the tied order entry line item, based on the sequence number of the kit component.
You can enter the lots for a product in Sales Order Entry or Sales Shipping Feedback Entry. You cannot perform Sales Entry Processing Invoice Processing until you have entered all lots. If a lot product is returned, the lot number record is de-allocated in Sales Entry Processing Invoice Processing. During warehouse transfers, the lot numbers must be entered when the transfer is entered or during Transfer Shipping Feedback Entry.
Special costing products are indicated with the appropriate special cost unit beside the Cost field. If your operator record does not allow you to view costs, the Cost field is not available.
