Lots (IC29.1)
Use Lots (IC29.1) to enter lot and sublot information for items set up for lot tracking in IC11.1 (Item Master) or IC10.2 (Item Master and Location).
If items are set up for lot tracking, the Inventory Control application transfers to this form as you enter transactions in IC20.1 (Receipts), IC21.1 (Issues), IC22.1 (Transfers), and IC24.1 (Adjustments). This form lets you allocate quantities for a transaction line into multiple lot/sublots. You can also use this form to place lots on hold and assign lot expiration dates.
More Information
The total lot/sublot quantity must equal the total transaction quantity before any of the transaction programs allow you to release a document. If these two quantities are not equal a message indicates out of balance. To enter lot/sublot information for a document after the initial transfer, you must view the document in the appropriate transaction form. Then, select the Walkthru form action.
Lot expiration dates print on the Lot Status Report (IC230) and are used by the Warehouse application to allocate older lots first. If a lot is placed on hold, you are not allowed to process transactions involving that lot until you change the hold status back to No. You can update lot information in this form as many times as necessary until the document is released. After a document is released you can place lots on hold, remove lots from hold, and assign lot expiration dates in IC27.1 (Lot Hold Control).
Because this form does not allow you to enter only sublot information, it is recommended that you associate specific lots to sublots. This process lets you control sublots in IC27.1 (Lot Hold Control) once they are released to the Inventory Control application.
