About Revision Numbers on Lots

The Revision field on some lot-related forms displays the revision number, if any, of the item, source job, or source purchase order that was used when a lot was created during certain processes.

These are the processes:

  • Job receipt, post job transactions, production schedule complete:The lot is assigned the job revision number, if any.
  • Purchase order receiving: The lot is assigned the purchase order revision number, if any.
  • Miscellaneous receiving, item quantity move, transfer order receiving or shipping, RMA return, rebalance item quantity, or physical inventory: The lot is assigned the item revision number, if any.

Rules for lot revision numbers:

  • If a lot is created with a blank revision number, the revision number cannot be updated later.
  • You cannot receive a newer revision of the same item into an existing lot/location. However, during physical inventory, if an item is found and added to a lot, a newer revision number of the item is allowed.
  • You can use an item that has been assigned a job revision number in a job that has a different revision number.
