Options Form - Lots Tab
The Lots Tab appears on the I/C Options form if you have the Serialized Inventory and Lot Tracking license installed. Use the options on this form to define the default settings that pertain to the assignment and allocation of lot numbers when working with lotted items.
Use the Item Defaults section to define the default Lot Number Mask that appears for all lotted items. You can change this on an item by item basis using the I/C Items form.
To enforce a validity period for your lot numbers, select the Days to Expiry checkbox and enter the number of days from creation to expiry. If enforcing an expiry period for lot numbers, you should also make a selection from the Expired Lot Allocation Message list.
If you want all lots to be quarantined for a specific number of days after receipt, select the Days on Quarantine checkbox and enter the number of days in the adjacent field. You can release individual lots before the specified period using the Quarantine Release form.
Select the Allow Lot Quantities to be Different from the Quantity in Entries checkbox to make it optional that all lotted items have a lot number assigned before a transaction can be saved.
The Separators Used in Lot Mask Structures section lists the different characters that can be used to separate segments in Lot Masks. If you want to exclude a character from being used when creating a serial mask, make sure the Use column is set to No for that character.
When using the Auto-allocation feature to automatically assign lot numbers, the order in which available numbers appear is determined by the settings in the Auto-allocation section.
The Use the Qty Ordered field in OE for the Allocation of Lot Numbers checkbox affects the Sage ERP Accpac Order Entry program. When selected, the allocation of lot numbers to ordered items will be determined by the Quantity Ordered field in Order Entry.
