Use these steps to preassign lots for an item when you create a co-job
that includes the item:
In the Items form, specify that the
item to be used in the co-job is lot tracked.
(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 job using the Co-job Orders
form. (This form is available only if you are using the Molding Industry
Pack.)
For each item that will use a preassigned lot, select Preassign
Lots in the grid.
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
on that form, then you can select it here. When the job status
is changed from Firm, this field is disabled.
Click thePreassign Lots/Serials
button and on the form that opens, select the Lots
tab.
Specify the number of predefined lots to generate and click Generate Lots. The next sequential lots 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.)
