Lot-Controlled Items

When you define a lot-controlled item in the Product Information Management work area, the values that you enter for the lot and lot expiration parameters at the item organization level determine the dates that default during receipt of the lot controlled item.

Other parameters that you enter on the item definition that impact default values at the lot item receipt include the material policy setup parameters and the grade control setup parameters. When you create a receipt on the lot-controlled item, key dates default for the lot based on the values defined for the lot-controlled item.

For example, this table shows where the values on the Record Lots page originate.

Field	Origination
Status	From the material policy defined on the item definition.
Grade	From the default grade defined for the item.
Origination Date	Date the lot was created in the application.
Expiration Date	Based on shelf life defined for the item.
Retest Date	Based on retest interval defined in item setup.
Expiration Action	Comes from item setup.
Expiration Action Date	Based on expiration action interval defined in item setup.

Once the lot-controlled item is received, you can review and edit the lot details on the Manage Lots page.

You can change the lot attributes on the Manage Lots page by selecting the individual lot and clicking the Edit icon. You can also select Edit from the Actions menu.

When the lot-controlled item is defined with shelf life attributes, expiration attributes, and material policy, you can edit these fields:

• Origination date

• Material status

• Expiration date

• Expiration action

• Retest date

• Maturity date

• Grade

• Hold until date

• Active
