To manually register lot or serial numbers for handling units

In the following cases, lot or serial number registration for handling units is done manually:

  • No lot and serial numbers are present on the associated line of the handling unit.
  • A package definition is used to create the handling unit structure.
  • A manually created handling unit structure, consisting of a top level and a child level, is present before the lot or serial numbers were generated.

To manually register lot or serial numbers for handling units:

  1. In the Compose Handling Units (whwmd5130m100) session, the Handling Units (whwmd5130m000) session, and the Handling Unit Tree, select the relevant handling unit and click Stock Point Details on the toolbar.

  2. In the Handling Unit Stock Point Details (whwmd5136m000) session, click Generate Lot Codes, Generate Serials, or Link Serial(s) to register lot or serial numbers for the lot or serialized items of the handling unit.

If no lot or serial numbers are present on the associated line before registering the lot or serial numbers for the handling units, LN updates lot or serial numbers on the associated line.

Using the Split commands

If lot or serial numbers are present on the associated line before registration for the handling unit is to take place, the Generate Lot Codes and Generate Serials commands are not displayed. In such cases, you must use the Split Line for Serials and Split Line for Lots options and manually enter a lot or serial number for each item individually.

FIFO and LIFO items

For FIFO or LIFO items, register the lot or serial numbers for the handling units and not for the associated line. You can then use the Generate Serials or Generate Lot Codes options to register the lot or serial numbers simultaneously, which takes less time than registration through the Split Line for Serials or Split Line for Lots options.
