Lot Tracking - ISO 13485 with Epicor 9.05

We do use lots. Lot numbers are assigned manually but to receipts and to jobs/manufactured items. Job number is eh lot number of the resultant product. Our lot numbers include a bit of intelligence: Rxxxx for raw materials, and xxxx-yy or xxxx-zz for two similar products that are different by only one dimensional difference.

How do those in the medical industry track lots with Epicor?

Do you actually serialize or create lots?

We are thinking of using our PO number and entering into the Job.

I would like to hear how some of you are performing this.
