The system sorts detail lots on the Detail Lot Selection window according to the following internal criteria. For the following scenario, the detail lots would display with number one first and number seven last on the Detail Lot Selection window.
The last lot from which the customer bought if there is an available quantity.
Lots with higher allocation levels if allocation levels are defined for the lots in Detail Lot Maintenance.
Lots with the same inspection level and quality rank as the customer's level and rank.
Lots with the same inspection level and higher quality ranks than the customer's level and rank.
Lots with the same inspection level and lower quality ranks than the customer's level and rank.
Lots with lower inspection levels than the customer's level.
Lots with higher inspection levels than the customer's level.
It is most desirable to select from detail lots that meet or have higher inspection levels and quality ranks. Ideally, you would only want to select detail lots from the first four sorting types. You can have detail lots with lower inspection levels or quality ranks than the customer's set levels re-inspected, or if you have authorization, you can select an item that does not meet the customer's level criteria.
