Lot control Blank Title 108827

Steven,
 In v8 there is no automatic, incremental lot number created for each receipt so the person in Receiving needs to have a log of the next number to be used or you will need a customization to create such a number. We have gone that route storing the number in the Company table. I understand that this has been corrected in v9 much the way serialization is handled.
-Karl

We are on 8.03.409 and use lot extensively. There are a lot of subtle things about it but basically, you can require lots to be used for specific parts. Once you do, any receipt of this part, issue of the part, etc. will require using a lot number. Lot numbers are unique by part in 8.03. Inventory quantities by lot are stored in the PartBin table. There is no stock status report by lot - you will have to develop your own if you want it. There are a few places where a user can create a lot when you might want to keep that from happening. For example, o conformance requires providing a lot on the "in" side and allows creation of a different lot on the "out" side. Also if you use AMM, you cannot request a move of a specific lot so the move order does not specify the lot to be moved; the lot is identified once the material is actually moved. There is no such thing as a global lot (like a global part) so lots between companies has to be managed yourself.

But overall, it works well if you can live with a few holes in the controls it offers.

We are on Vantage 8.03.408A Progress and are considering implimenting lot control on some of our parts. Could someone provide a brief description on how lot control works in Vantage or point me to some documentation about it. The help file is pretty skimpy on the subject.

Thanks

We are in Epicor 9.05.607a using lot control for our paper stock raw
materials. I am not sure if there is a difference in lot tracking from
Vantage. Inventory transactions look to the part#, bin, & lot# in that
order. Lots can be part specific or non part specific. We use a non part
specific global sequencing system so we never have the same lot number for
two different parts since we have parts that are similar. The only fields
that we use within the lot are the manufacturer batch, and the original
manufactured dated.

We are on Vantage 8.03.408A Progress and are considering implimenting lot
control on some of our parts. Could someone provide a brief description on
how lot control works in Vantage or point me to some documentation about
it. The help file is pretty skimpy on the subject.

Thanks
