Introduction

The users can receive components that require Lot Code Only, Serial Number Only, or both Serial Number and Lot Code, following the instructions listed below.  A part that requires a Lot Coded is setup in the Inventory Part Type set-up module.  A part that requires Serial numbers is set-up in Inventory Control Module.

1. Fill in accepted item quanitity as instructed in the Add a PO Receiving Inspection Record.
2. Depress the Add button next to the Lot Code section.

3. Type in the Lot Code. The expiration date, reference date and quantity will automatically update, (if the part class/type setup is set to auto update expiration date and reference for the lot code).   In order for a Lot Code to be unique, the system looks at four fields for comparison.  They are Lot Code, Reference, and PO Number.  So while a batch may have the same Lot Code as another batch, if it arrives in a different PO, the it will be classified as a different lot.  The expiration date is optional and is not required when creating a new lot.

   

4. Serial numbers will have to be assigned only if a part has the serial number box checked in the inventory module.
   1. Select either single or range.
   2. Enter the serial number in the red box and depress enter.
   3. The serial numbers will automatically update. (Serial numbers may or may not have lot codes).
