Lot

Select the lot number for the item you are receiving, if the item is lot tracked. You must update the line to add a lot number. If you specify a non-existent lot, the Add Lot modal form opens for you to add a new lot.

If the Generate Lot check box from the Inventory Parameters form is selected, then the system generates the next lot number and displays it in this field. Also in this case, you can enter a lot prefix followed by a question mark and have the system generate the next available lot with that prefix.

If the Generate Lot check box is cleared, you must enter the desired lot number.

When an item is received into inventory, a new lot number can be created at that time. For Receiving Adjustments (negative receipts), a pre-defined lot number must be entered in this field.

When you receive items into inventory, and the PO line indicates that the item has preassigned lots, this field lists the preassigned lot numbers. Select one, or clear the field and type in a different lot number.

If the transaction reduces inventory,and the PO line indicates that the item has preassigned lots, you can specify any lot number. If the selected lot is not one of the preassigned lots, a warning message displays.
