High volume lot-control

The high volume scenario is intended for high-volume, low-value items. To deploy the high volume scenario for lot items, clear the Lots in Inventory check box in the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) or the Item - Warehousing (whwmd4600m000) session.

In the lot-control high volume scenario, these rules apply:

• LN does not record the inventory for each combination of lot and warehouse, and location.
• You can record information about each lot, such as lot number, buy-from business partner, manufacturer, and certificate number-information that is used for quality assurance.
• For inbound and outbound transactions, depending on parameter settings, you can register which lots were involved in the transaction. See, Lot registration in the high volume scenario.
• Lot tracking is possible, but only insofar as lot numbers and quantities have been entered for various transactions. Lot tracking does not check the consistency between the total quantity received versus the total issued quantity.
• Lot pricing is unavailable in the high volume scenario, because financial information or inventory-valuation information is unavailable at the lot level.

To generate lot codes

If you need a new lot number, you can enter a lot number manually, or generate a lot number according to a user-defined mask. See, refer to Lot registration in the high volume scenario and Setting up lot items.

If the Generate Lots Automatically check box in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session had been selected, LN automatically generates lots wherever needed, for example, upon receipt of goods.

Print labels

During the outbound process, you can take any lot from the warehouse, but in the relevant outbound lot and serial registration sessions, you must specify which lot you picked. Use clear print labels to obtain the lot number of the picked lot. See, refer to Lot registration in the high volume scenario.
