Detail Lot Maintenance Overview

An item under lot control is any product in your warehouse that you need to track individually or by group, such as wire or tile. To put a product under lot control, assign a lot number to the product in Product Location Maintenance.

A detail lot control product is a lot control product that requires additional detail, such as quality controls and hold codes. Use Detail Lot Maintenance to control inventory that you must monitor closely to ensure quality and to store detailed product information, such as inspection levels and quality ranks, product enhancements and their values, manufacturer information, and expiration dates.

For example, you may sell fasteners to airplane manufacturers. To ensure safety, you must verify that these fasteners meet control inspection levels and product quality rank before you sell them.

Before creating detail lots, perform the following setup tasks:

Assign a product a Detail Lot control type.
If your customers require quality levels, designate a minimum quality control inspection level and product quality rank for individual customer's purchases.
Flag all vendors who manufacture your detail lot items.

After you have set up your system for detail lots, you can create, maintain, enhance, and sell detail lot items.

Note: Detail lots are not currently supported in an RF warehouse environment.
