Entering lot billing orders is a two-step process. First, you may need to create a lot item in your product file. Next, you enter the lot item on a sales order and attach products to it.
The lot item is a placeholder product. Because of the way the system works, you must attach a price sheet to your lot item, along with a price line and buy line, but they do not have any relevance, as you assign all prices and costs during sales order entry. The material details are the actual products the customer wants to order. For more information about lot item products, see the Lot Item Products Overview.
After you have created a lot item, you can enter it on a sales order. Lot items always have a quantity of 1 (one). You price and maintain the real product quantities at the material detail level. You can assign each individual material its own price, or you can price all of the materials as part of a lump sum at the lot item level.
