Lot Processing

Select the Lot Processing tab.

Serial No. Required (serial number required)

Enter the code that specifies whether you must attach a serial number to this item at receipt or sale for basic serial number processing, or whether memo lot information is required for advanced serial number processing. Advanced serial number processing enables you to use a serial number to track an item through purchasing and sales. For basic serial number processing, the values are:

Y: The system requires a serial number for all transactions pertaining to this item in related inventory, sales, and purchase order programs.

N: The system does not require a serial number.

To specify lots for items with serial numbers, the values are:

3: Supplier lot number is required (purchasing only).

4: Supplier lot number is required (purchasing only). Memo lot 1 is also required.

5: Supplier lot number is required (purchasing only). Memo lot 1 and memo lot 2 are also required.

6: Non-serialized item number.

7:Supplier lot number and Based on date are required.

8:Supplier lot number, based on date, and lot expiration date are required.

9:Supplier lot number, based on date, and best before date are required.

Values 3 through 5 specify whether lot assignment is required for items with serial numbers. You can require assignment of up to three lot numbers, including supplier lot, memo lot 1, and memo lot 2.

(Release 9.2 Update) Values 7 through 9 specify whether lot assignment is required for items with serial numbers. The based on date will be considered as the manufacturing date when you enter any of these values. These values are applicable for the Purchase Order Receipts program (P4312) and the Lot Master program (P4108).

Lot Status Code (Release 9.2 Update)

A user defined code (41/L) that indicates the status of the lot. When NBLOTSTS is set to No or NBLOTSTS is not present in EnterpriseOne Control System program (P99410), you leave this field blank to indicate that the lot is approved. All the other codes indicate that the lot is on hold.

When NBLOTSTS is set to Yes, the lot status is validated by a special handling code in 41/L. All codes containing the special handling code 1 indicate that the lot is approved. All codes containing special handling codes other than 1 indicate that the lot is on hold.

On the Item/Location Information (P41024) or Location Lot Status Change (P4108) forms, you can assign a different status code to each location in which a lot resides.

Lot Process Type

Enter the user-defined code from UDC table (H41/SR) that specifies whether lot or serial number is assigned. Lot and serial number processes use the F4108 table. Values are:

0: Lot assignment is optional. You can manually assign numbers. Quantity can be greater than one. (default)

1: Lot assignment is required. The system assigns numbers using the system date in YYMMDD format. Quantity can be greater than one.

2: Lot assignment is required. The system assigns numbers in ascending order using next numbers. Quantity can be greater than one.

3: Lot assignment is required. You must manually assign numbers. Quantity can be greater than one.

4: Serial number assignment is optional except during shipment confirmation. Quantity must not exceed one.

5: Serial number assignment is required. The system assigns numbers using the system date in YYMMDD format. Quantity must not exceed one.

6: Serial number assignment is required. The system assigns numbers in ascending order using next numbers. Quantity must not exceed one.

7: Serial number assignment is required. You must manually assign numbers. Quantity must not exceed one.

Country of Origin Required

Select the checkbox to indicate that the system requires a country of origin when you create a new lot or serial number. The checkbox is enabled only when the value for Lot Process Type is 1-3 or 5-7.

Note: The system disables the Country of Origin Required checkbox when you identify an item as bulk.

Commitment Date Method

Enter a user-defined code from UDC table (H40/CD) that specifies which date the system uses to commit inventory when an item is committed by date. The default value is 01 (lot expiration date). The date fields are stored in the F4108 table.

Lot Expiration Date Method

Enter the code that indicates which method the system uses for calculating the expiration date for a lot. Values are:

1: On-hand date plus shelf life days

2: Based on date plus shelf life days

3: Least expiration date of active components

Shelf Life Days

Enter the number of days that an item can remain in inventory before it expires. The system adds this number to the date that the item is received to determine the expiration date for the item. If you do not enter a value here, you must enter an expiration date each time that you receive the lot item.

Best Before/Sell By Default Days

Enter the number of days that an item can remain in inventory before it should be consumed. The system uses the number that you enter to calculate the best-before date using two different methods, depending on whether the number that you enter in this field is positive or negative. If the value is positive, the system adds the days to the based-on date to determine the best-before date for the lot. If the number is negative, the system subtracts the days from the lot expiration date to determine the best-before date.

Manufacturing Effective Days

Enter the number of days that an item must remain in inventory before the system considers the item to be available for sales and manufacturing commitments. To calculate the lot-effective date, the system adds the number that you enter in this field to the based-on date that appears in the F4108 table.

Purchasing Effective Days

Enter the number of days after a purchased item is received that a lot becomes available. The system uses this number when calculating and displaying the Effective Date field in the Purchase Orders program (P4310) and the PO Receipts program (P4312).

User Lot Date 1–5 Default Days

Enter the number of days that the system uses to calculate the value for the User Lot Date 1 through User Lot Date 5 fields of the F4108 table. The system calculates the values using one of two methods, depending on whether the number that you enter in this field is positive or negative. If you enter a positive value, the system adds the days to the based-on date to determine the value for the fields. If you enter a negative value, the system subtracts the days from the lot expiration date to determine the value for the fields.
