    The expected output quantity is calculated and populated based on the work order output quantity and the work order quantity.

    The expected quantity value is zero for ad hoc output items.

    Previously Completed

    Displays the previously completed value. If no quantity is completed, it's zero.

    The previously completed value is read-only.

    To Transact

    Enter the output item quantity to perform the transaction.

    The default To Transact quantity for process manufacturing work orders is the expected quantity minus previously completed quantity.

    Secondary Quantity

    Enter the secondary output item quantity to perform the transaction.

    Lot Number

    Enter the lot number of the product.

    Preassigned lot numbers of the product display in the drop-down list. You can complete or return the primary products only to preassigned lots. If you have preassigned lots to other products or by-products, you will be able to complete or return only to the preassigned lots.

    If preassign lots is enabled for a work order, you will be able to initiate product completion for a primary output item only if at least one lot number is preassigned to work order.

    If there is only one lot number preassigned in the work order for a product, it will be defaulted. If there are multiple lot numbers preassigned and if work order number is a lot number, it will defaulted else, you will need to select the lot number from the drop-down list. You can't generate lot numbers during product completion or return if there are preassigned lot numbers for the product. In case, you delete the work order number from the preassigned lot numbers manually in the work order, then the lot number won't be defaulted.

    Parent Lot Number

    Parent Lot Number is used to group lot numbers. If the item attribute Child Lot Enabled is selected, you can optionally specify the parent lot number. You can either manually enter the parent lot number or you can click Generate Parent Lot to automatically generate the parent lot number. If an existing lot is used, the parent lot number can't be edited. If the existing lot doesn't have a parent lot number, the parent lot number can't be captured during completion transactions. For more information about parent lot numbers, refer to the Item Inventory Specification Attributes section in the Using Product Master Data Management guide.

    Lot Expiration Date

    Select the date on which the lot will expire.

    Note: You can update the lot expiration date for the lots at the time of product completion. However, you can update the lot expiration date only if the lot expiration control attribute in item definition is setup as User-defined expiration date. If the Lot Origination Date is updated, the Lot Expiration Date and the Hold Until Dates will be recalculated. Update of Lot dates is supported for work order and orderless transactions.

    Lot Origination Date

    Select the exact date on which the lot is manufactured. The Lot Origination date defaults to the Transaction date, which you can edit.

    Note: You can update the lot origination date for the lots that are either preassigned to the work order or for any lots at the time of product completion.Updating the lot origination date at the time of product completion automatically updates the lot expiration date and Hold Until Dates as setup in the item definition.

    Lot Hold Until Date

    Select the date until which the lot can be hold. The Hold until date defaults to Lot Origination date + Hold days as in item definition, which you can edit.

    Note: You can update the lot hold until date for the lots at the time of product completion.

    Serial Number

    Enter the serial number of the product.

  7. Click Save and Close.

    A confirmation message is shown to confirm that the output items were reported to inventory for the work order operation on the Review Dispatch List page.

    Note: You can update the lot control dates such as Lot Origination Date, Lot Expiration Date, and Hold Until Date at the time of product completion using user interface, REST services and file-based data import (FBDI).
