Lot

On the Lots form, enter the lot number for the current item. If you entered a Lot Prefix on the Items or Inventory Parameters form, the prefix displays in this field but may be overwritten.

Note:  If you are using a prefix, the system, when incrementing lot numbers, looks for the last number that begins with the prefix and ends with a numeric digit and adds 1 to it. The system will ignore numbers that contain alphabetic characters after the prefix. If you are not using a prefix, the system looks for the largest number and increments it by 1.

On the Job Material Transactions and Miscellaneous Issue forms, the Location and Lot fields together define the source of the materials to issue. Enter the lot number from which to issue material. The system asks for this information only if Lot Tracking is enabled for the item. This field is required for lot tracked items.

Note:  If you are using serial number tracking for the item, the Serial Numbers tab is enabled after you enter the required fields, to allow you to enter serial numbers.

On other forms, the Lot field displays.
