Field help (FFMLOTTAFF)
This field indicates the lot concerned by the stock movement.
This field is only displayed if the detail concerns a product that is managed by lot. The population of the lot code depends on the lot management method assigned to the product and the product category.
It is possible to plan these values by default for the lot code. The supplier lot can be used as a default value. Entering a supplier lot automatically populates the internal lot code with the supplier lot in question or document number triggering stock receipt. In case of a stock receipt, the lot code is assigned to the record of the receipt line.
In case of a customer return, the supplier lot does not initialize an internal lot. It may be entered to identify a supplier lot not known by the system.
- If the lot entry mode is set up in the product category with the value "no", the entry of the lot field is impossible and the default value is automatically populated. f no default value is set up, the lot sequence number counter numbers the lot.
- If the entry of the lot is "new lot", it is mandatory to enter a new lot code that is not in the system yet, whether numbered via the sequence number counter, by a default value or by a manual entry.
- If the lot entry is set to "free", it is possible to select an existing lot from the system.
- If no sequence number counter is attached to the product, the system applies a general lot sequence number counter at the level of the allocation of sequence number counters in the Stocks chapter.
The grid shown below sums up the impact of the setup of the management of Miscellaneous Receipttype movements in the mandatory lot management during modification of a receipt into stock. In the case of optional lots, an additional function available by right clicking the lot field. This function can be used to leave the lot number blank.

It is possible to assign to the lot code of the next number in the sequence number counter using the right click "Next sequence number".

If the lot is not entered, a lot code is assigned based on the lot sequence number counter upon saving the line. It is possible to assign to the lot code of the next number in the sequence number counter using the right click "Next sequence number". |
