Lot Size

Enter the lot size for the item. The lot size is the number of items that are contained in one grouping, or lot. The system uses this information when calculating costs on the Items or Multi-Site Items form. You must enter this field in order for the system to calculate costs for items in lots (for example, setup costs.)

Note:  This lot size is not used for MRP or APS. The lot size used by MRP and APS for planning is defined in the Order Maximum (APS only), Order Minimum, and Order Multiple fields. See Using Lot Sizes with MRP and APS for more information.

Run these utilities if you are using Standard costing for an item and you update this field:

  • Current BOM Cost Roll Up Utility
  • Roll Current Cost to Std Cost Utility

Follow these steps to prevent the occurrence of erroneous variances as a result of updating this field.
