Setting Up Lot Shipment Ascending Date Rules

Access the Preference Values Revisions form.

Check Best Before Date

Enter an option that specifies whether the system ensures that the lot that you are shipping to a customer has a value in the Best Before Date field that is greater than or equal to the value for the last lot that you shipped.

Commitment Date Method

Enter a 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.

Check Expiration Date

Enter an option that determines whether the system ensures that a lot be shipped in ascending order in relation to other lots that have already been shipped. When you select this option, the system enforces the ship ascending lot rule based on the expiration date to ensure that the lot that is being shipped has an expiration date that is greater than that of the lots that have been previously shipped.

Check Sell By Date

Enter an option that indicates whether the system ensures that a lot that is being shipped to a customer is shipped in ascending order by the sell by date. If you select this option, the system ensures that each lot that is being shipped has a sell by date that is greater than or equal to the date on which the last lot was shipped.
