Note:Allow the popup window to be loaded completely to view the Lot Auto Inventory Detail section.
-
In the Lot Auto Inventory Detail sublist, enter the required lot information, such as quantity.
-
Click Add.
The lot number automatically generates and displays in the Lot Number column.
When adding multiple rows for the same lot number, values in all other fields must be the same, except for the following:
-
Quantity
-
Bin (applies to item receipts, work orders, and assembly builds)
-
Status (applies to item receipts, work orders, and assembly builds)
The automatically generated lot number replaces space character in a lot number format element with a hyphen.
In the Inventory Detail popup window, the format for date and time type of fields is derived from the Set Preferences page.
The value for the Time of Day field is based on the date and time format selected on the General Preferences page.
