You use this program to define the setup options for your Lot Traceability module.
For this module to run efficiently, we recommend that you select the options you require before processing any transactions. However, most of the options can be changed later, if necessary.
Field | Description | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Options | |||||
Automatic lot numbering |
Select this to generate lot numbers automatically.
|
||||
Lot number equal to job number |
Select this to set the lot number to be the same as the job number when processing transactions in the Job Receipts program.
|
||||
Parent traceable if component traceable |
If you select this option, then you cannot attach a traceable component to a parent item that is non-traceable. This is to ensure that you have traceability of the component through all the levels and to have the ability to see where a lot was used. You can still attach non-traceable components to a traceable parent part. For example, you may not want an item such as grease to be traceable, but you still want to be able to use grease when making a traceable parent item. This option also affects the replacement of components. Refer to Restrictions and limits in the Replace Component Where Used program. |
||||
Same lot to be used on multiple stock codes |
Select this to allow the same lot numbers to be used for different stock codes when adding new lot numbers in the Inventory, Purchase Orders and Work In Progress modules.
