Indicate Lot/Batch Number

Explanation

A lot or batch is a quantity of parts, produced together and sharing the same production specifications and costs. Each item is numbered uniquely for tracking it to the original shipment or production run.

This dialog is used when you are using Lot Tracking and have not specified any lot/batch numbers at the arrival registration. Note that it is not possible to change the entered lot/batch number.

Prerequisites

• The arrival registration must have been done.
• Lot Tracking must have been activated for the part. This is done in Part/General.
• Pallets must be located at a location type Pallet quality.

System Effects

Lot/batch numbers are indicated. (If you have indicated order based lot/batch tracking the lot/batch numbers are automatically generated at the time of receipt.)

When indicating the lot/batch number for parts that are owned by a customer for which part acquisition values are handled, the unit price (excluding any discount or additional cost) from the purchase order line will be used as automatically-created initial estimate part acquisition values, if there are not already values entered on the applicable acquisition value level (lot/batch, or serial) for the part number.
