Lot/serial classes (IN207000)

• Not tracked
  No tracking of the lot numbers or serial numbers for items of the class will be performed.
• Track lot numbers
  Tracking of the lot numbers for items of the inventory lot/serial class will be performed.
• Track serial numbers
  Tracking of the serial numbers for items of the inventory lot/serial class will be performed.

This check box indicates (if selected) that the system will track the expiration date for stock items of this lot/serial class.

This option is not used for classes with Not tracked selected as their tracking method.

This check box indicates (if selected) that the stock items of this lot/serial class are required for drop-ship.

• When received - Assigns these numbers to the items when the items are received
• When used - Assigns these numbers to the items when the items are used

• FIFO
  A first-in-first-out (FIFO) issue method
• LIFO
  A last-in-first-out (LIFO) issue method
• Sequential
  A sequential issue method
• Expiration
  An issue method based on the expiration date; to use this method, select the Track expiration date check box for this class
• User defined
  A custom, user-defined issue method

This check box lets you use (if selected) the same auto-increment value for all stock items in the lot/serial class.

If it is cleared, for each item, an individual auto-increment value may be set in the Stock items (IN202500) window; if such a number is not set, the initial value for each item will be 0000 by default.

• If the Share the auto-increment value between all class items option is selected, the value will be incremented each time a new lot of any item of the class is received.
• If this option is not selected for the class, the box will be blank.
  For different items of the class, individual auto-increment values will be used as follows:
  • If for an item of the class, the initial auto-increment value is specified in the Stock items (IN202500) window, that value will be used for the lot segment.
  • If for an item of the class the initial auto-increment value is not specified in the Stock items (IN202500) window, the default value 0000 will be used as the initial auto-increment value.

This check box indicates (if selected) that the system will automatically generate the next number for items of the class with an auto-increment segment.

If the check box is not selected, users should manually enter serial numbers.

The maximum number of serial numbers that can be generated at once for items of this lot/serial class.

If a larger quantity of the item is specified on a document, you will get an error message telling you that you have more than enough quantity, and because of that there will be unassigned numbers. You need to enter a new line for the exceeding quantity.

You can initiate assignment of serial numbers for unassigned quantity of the item manually.

• Automatic incremental value
  Generates incremented values for the segment using as the initial value either the Auto-incremental value for this class or the value specific to the stock item if the Share the auto-increment value between all class items check box is not selected.
  This option can be selected for only one of the segments.
• Constant
  Uses a constant in the number segment.
• Day
  Uses the day (from the date when the lot or serial number is generated) in the segment.
• Month
  Uses the two-digit month (from the date when the lot or serial number is generated) in the segment.
• Month long
  Uses the month name in the lot/serial number segment.
• Year
  Uses the two-digit year in the lot/serial number segment.
• Year long
  Uses the four-digit year in the lot/serial number segment.
• Custom date format
  Uses the date in the custom date format in the segment.

• For the Constant type, specify a constant to be used as the segment value.
• For the Custom date format type, specify a date format (YYMM, DDMM, or YYYY-MM-DD) to be used in the segment.
