Cost Receipts with Lot and Serial Numbers at Receiving Only

You can now cost item receipts enabled for lot and serial numbers at receiving only without mandating for any lot and serial valuation units. Such receipts are recorded during the receiving process mainly to streamline operations for industries needing compliance with specific regulations, such as the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA). For organizations that don't typically manage goods by lot and serial numbers, these items are designated as lot or serial controlled exclusively during receiving activities so that lot and serial numbers are collected for reporting. This also allows these items to be managed like inventory that isn't lot-controlled after the receiving process is complete.

To designate an item as lot or serial controlled exclusively during receiving, set lot control/serial generation attributes in the item definition to Entry for tracking in receiving only. For such items, while defining the item cost profile, valuation structures with lot or serial segments enabled as mandatory won't be allowed, and when using the default cost profile, automatic item cost profile generation won't happen ensuring the item cost is computed as per business expectation to process them as not lot or serial costed.

Flexibility to capture lot and serial numbers during the receiving process and avoids accidental processing as lot-serial costed.
