The impact of item conversion on bottom-level handling units

Item conversion affects the stock point detail information present in bottom-level handling units in the following situations.

Lot conversion

• In the following conversions the lot information is added to the handling unit in the Handling Unit Stock Point Details (whwmd5136m000) session. If no stock point details were present prior to this conversion, the Stock Point Details Present check box is selected in the Handling Units (whwmd5130m000) session:

  • Not lot controlled to low volume lot-controlled
  • High volume lot-controlled to low volume lot-controlled (if lot registration was not performed)

• Not lot controlled to high volume lot-controlled

  Lot information is not generated. The user can register lot numbers in the Handling Unit Stock Point Details (whwmd5136m000) session.

• Low volume lot-controlled to high volume lot-controlled

  The lot information in the Handling Unit Stock Point Details (whwmd5136m000) session remains unchanged.

• Lot controlled to not lot controlled

  The lot code is removed from the handling unit stock point details. If the item is not serialized and the outbound method is by location, the stock point details are removed and the Stock Point Details Present check box in the Handling Units (whwmd5130m000) session is cleared.

Serial conversion

• Low volume serialized to high volume serialized

  The lot information in the Handling Unit Stock Point Details (whwmd5136m000) session remains unchanged.

• Not serialized to high volume serialized

  Serial information is not generated. The user can register serial numbers in the Handling Unit Stock Point Details (whwmd5136m000) session.

Outbound method conversion

• LIFO or FIFO to By Location

  In the Handling Unit Stock Point Details (whwmd5136m000) session, the inventory date is removed. When the item is not serialized and not lot controlled, the stock point details are removed. If the item is high volume serialized or lot-controlled and no lot or serial registration is performed, the handling unit stock point details are removed. When the handling unit stock point details are removed, the Stock Point Details Present check box in the Handling Units (whwmd5130m000) session is cleared.

• By Location to LIFO or FIFO

  In the Handling Unit Stock Point Details (whwmd5136m000) session, the handling unit stock point details are created if the item is not serialized or lot controlled. If lot controlled or serialized, the stock point details are updated
