  2. Enter an option that indicates whether the system displays all lots, or only lots with quantity on hand. A check mark indicates that the system displays only lots with quantity on-hand.
  3. Enter a code from UDC 41/L that indicates the status of the lot. Leaving this field blank indicates that the lot is approved. All other codes indicate that the lot is on hold. You can assign a different status code to each location in which a lot resides, in the Item/Location Information, or via Location Lot Status Change.
  4. Enter the date on which a lot of items expire. The system automatically enters this date if you specified the shelf life days for the item in the Item Master or Item Branch/Plant information.
  5. Enter the number of units that are physically in stock. The system displays the quantity on-hand in the primary unit of measure.
  6. Enter a number that indicates the quantity that is available. For example, the available quantity might consist of the on-hand quantity minus commitments, reservations, and backorders. Availability is user defined. You can set up availability in the Branch/Plant Constants (P41001) program.

How it works...

You can view the availability of items in a lot as well as the activity dates, item quantities, and hold statuses that pertain to the lot.

Activity dates and item quantities reflect receipts, issues, sales, and so on. For items in a lot, you can view lot the availability for all items in a lot, or all lots that contain a specific item. You can choose to view only those items or lots for which on-hand balances are available. If the same item or lot appears more than once, then each item or lot exists in a different location.

How it works...

There’s more...

The system calculates the expiration date by adding the number of shelf life days to the date on which you received the item. You can commit inventory based on the lot expiration date for items. You select how the system commits inventory for an item in the Item Master or Item Branch/Plant information.
