Lot and serial registration templates

Lot and serial registration templates are used to specify the order origins and transaction types for which serial and/or lot registration must take place. This applies to lot and serial numbers not stored in inventory.

For example, you can specify that for a particular item, serial registration must be performed for Maintenance Sales orders when the item is received for repair, but that serial registration is not required when the same item is received on a Purchase order.

While performing an inventory transaction for an item on a particular order, LN checks whether a lot and serial registration template exists for the order origin and the transaction type. If yes, lot and/or serial registration must be carried out according to the template. If not, lot and/or serial registration must be carried out according to the applicable parameter from the following list:

  • Serial Number Entry During Receipt
  • Serial Number Entry During Transfer
  • Lot Entry During Receipt
  • Lot Entry During Transfer

If the following parameters are set, however, they overrule the lot and serial registration template:

  • Register Serial Issue During As Built
  • Register Serial Issue in Service & Maintenance
  • Register Lot Issue During As Built

The parameters from the lists are available in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000) session.
