To register lot and serial numbers for handling units

The serial registration parameters of the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4100s000) session determine the types of warehouse transaction for which registration of lot or serial numbers is required.

If you use handling units for lot and serialized items in the high volume scenario, you can register the lot or serial numbers for either of the following:

  • The handling units that contain the lot or serialized items.

    This allows you to accurately locate your lot and serialized items.

  • The associated lines of the handling units
Automatic generation of lot and serial numbers for handling units

Sometimes, LN automatically registers lot and serial numbers for a handling unit if you create the handling unit after you have registered the lot and serial numbers for the associated line.

To manually register lot or serial numbers for handling units

You can also register the lot or serial number for handling units manually. The lot and serial numbers are then automatically updated on the associated lines.

Lot and serial registration in handling unit structures

When you use handling unit structures, you are not required to register lot and serial numbers for each of the handling units within the structure. If you do not, you must register the remaining lot or serial numbers for the associated line. This is because LN does not allow incomplete registration of lot and serial numbers.

Registration procedure depends on requirements

Based on your requirements you can register lot or serial numbers for:

  • The associated lines before registering for the handling units
  • The handling units only and not for the associated lines ( LN updates the lot and serial numbers on the associated lines anyway)
  • Part of the handling unit structure and register the remaining numbers on the associated lines
High volume and low volume lot and serial registration combined

The procedure is different for the receipt of handling units containing items that are both high volume serialized and low volume lot controlled.

To change lot or serial numbers for handling units

In the Handling Unit Stock Point Details (whwmd5136m000) session, you can change the lot or serial numbers that you registered for the selected handling unit.
