Understanding Lot Status Codes
You can define a set of allowed, nonblank lot status codes using the Allowed Lot Status Setup program (P41081). The allowed lot status code enables you to manage lot status processes manually to consume the inventories from the lots that are on hold. The system uses the Allowed Lot Status table (F41081) to process allowed lot status information when you run these programs:

During the print pick slip, ship confirmation, and warehouse location selection processes, the system validates the nonblank lot status codes against the user-defined status code values. If nonblank lot status codes exist in the F41081 table, the system considers the user-defined lot status codes as blank and the on-hold item continues through these processes.
