How You Restrict Lot Numbers LOV to Issued Lot Numbers on the Maintenance Dispatch List Page

Prioir to this update, you could restrict the component lot numbers that can be selected for a return transaction using the Report Material Transactions page. If the restriction is configured for a maintenance organization, you can return only lot numbers and quantities previously issued using the same maintenance work order operation.

However, from now on, you can leverage and extend the same functionality to the following user interfaces also.

• Maintenance Dispatch List page
  • Manual Reporting Complete
  • Complete with Details
• Issue and Return Material from Inventory

After the component issue, any components not consumed during maintenance activity may be returned. If the restriction is configured, the Component Lot Number attribute allows you to search and select only previously issued lot-controlled components in the work order operation. You can't return quantities higher than the quantities issued.

If the restriction is configured for a maintenance organization, then by default, all users encounter the validations. However, you can select to give certain users the WIP_ALLOW_UNTRANSACTED_LOT_RETURN privilege. When assigned to a user, the privilege relaxes the validation on the Component Lot Number attribute, thus enabling the user to return any previously issued component lot number outside of the context of the current work order operation.

This feature helps you enforce a specific validation for lot number control during return transactions and gives some users access to returning these components across maintenance work order operations.
