Defining Common Movement Instruction Criteria
Access the Putaway Movement Instructions Revisions form.
The system displays the Match Lot Date column for putaway movement instructions in License Plate branches. You can use the Match Lot Date value to enable grouping of lots into a location based on matching lot dates.
When you enter Y in the Match Lot Date column, the system uses the location with the matching dates for putaway. Once this location is full, the system uses the next matching date location. To determine the date to be matched, the system uses the Commitment Date Method (CMDM) field in the Item Branch (F4102) record. Valid date values are Expiration Date, Sell By Date, Best Before Date and User Defined Date 1 through 5.
When you enter N in the Match Lot Date field, the system does not enable grouping of lots into a location.
If the system reviews all locations sequenced by the tiebreaker and does not find any matching lot dates, it starts at the beginning of the sequenced locations and puts away the quantity without checking for matching lot dates.
