Use these steps to preassign lots for an item in a PO:
In the Items form, specify that the
item to be used in the PO.
(Optional) If you want to use lot number prefixes for this item,
click Lot Definition and define the prefix
to use. Alternatively, a global prefix can be defined on the Inventory Parameters form.
Create the purchase order using the Purchase
Orders form. (The Preassign feature is not available on the
Purchase Orders Quick Entry form.)
In the Purchase Order Lines or Purchase Order Blanket Lines/Releases form,
for each line item that will use a preassigned lot, select Preassign
Lots.
Note: If
Preassign Lots is already selected
by default for the item on the Items
form, you cannot change it here. However, if this field is not selected,
and if Qty Shipped is zero, then you
can select Preassign Lots here.
In the Purchase Order Lines or Purchase Order Blanket Releases form, select
the Lots tab.
Specify the number of predefined lots to generate and click Generate Lots. The next sequential lot numbers
available for this item are listed. (The Generate
Lots button is enabled only if the Generate
Lot field is selected in the Inventory
Parameters form. If the button is disabled, specify the new
lot numbers in the grid.)
