Lot Hold Control (IC27.1)

Use Lot Hold Control (IC27.1) to place lots on hold, release lots from hold, and update lot expiration dates.

More Information

Perform the following to use this form.

  1. Select the Inquire form action to view an item lot record. Initially, lot records are defined through incoming receipt forms.

  2. View an item's lot record.

  3. Select the Change form action to set the hold flag (Yes or No) and/or enter an expiration date.

If a lot is placed on hold, you cannot process transactions involving that lot until you change the hold status back to No.

Lot expiration dates print on the Lot Status Report (IC230) and are used by the Warehouse application to allocate older lots first.

Note: Because this form does not allow you to place only sublots on hold or update only sublot expiration dates, it is recommended that you associate specific lots to sublots at receipt time. This process lets you control sublots through this form by its associated lot.
