You use this program to reserve lots and/or serials for parent parts and components or to maintain previously reserved lots.
Lots and serials reserved for a parent item are reserved until you use either the Job Receipts or WIP Inspection Maintenance programs to receipt the item into stock. Lots and serials reserved for allocations are reserved until the allocations are issued to the job.
The Parent/Lot Serial Reservation program can be run from the following programs:
-
when you create a job using the Job Entry program
-
when you receipt or maintain a job using the Browse on Jobs program
-
when you maintain material allocations for a job using the Material Allocations program
-
when you use the Job Issues program to issue materials to a job
The Parent/Lot Serial Reservation program is not run from the Job Review program when you select to create all jobs for the suggested jobs.

This screen is displayed when you create a job for a lot traceable and/or serialized item and you selected the option: Prompt operator at the Reserve serials for parent, Reserve lots for parent, Reserve serials for allocations or Reserve lots for allocations options (WIP Setup - Lots and serials tab).
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Lot reservation required | Select this if you want to reserve lot numbers for a
parent or a component item. This option is only enabled if the item is defined as lot traceable (Stock Code Maintenance - Tracking). |
| Serial reservation required | Select this if you want to reserve serial numbers for a
parent or a component item. This option is only enabled if the item is defined as serialized (Stock Code Maintenance - Tracking). |
| OK | Select this to accept your selections. |

You use this screen to reserve lots for the parent item being manufactured.
Lots for a parent item are reserved until the item is receipted into stock using the Job Receipts or WIP Inspection Maintenance programs.
This screen is only displayed if:
- the parent part or co-product is defined as lot traceable (Stock Code Maintenance - Tracking) and
- you selected to reserve lots for parent parts (WIP Setup - Lots and serials tab).
When you create a job for a notional part, you reserve the lots against the individual co-products.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Stock code | This displays the stock code of the parent item. |
| Description | This displays the description for the parent item. |
| Co-product line | This displays the line of the co-product for which you are currently reserving lots. This is only displayed if the job is for a notional part. |
| Reserve lot | Enter the lot you want to reserve. If you selected the option: Lot number to be equal to job number (Lot Traceability Setup) then this field defaults to the job number, but can be changed. The lot number may be either an existing lot or a new lot. You can reserve more than one lot for the parent items. You will be unable to select a lot that expires before the job delivery date. Unless you selected the option: Same lot to be used on multiple stock codes (Lot Traceability Setup), you will not be able to enter a lot number which is already on file for another stock code. If the parent item is defined as ECC controlled (Stock Code Maintenance - Tracking), then the revision/release for the parent item for the current job must be the same as the revision/release for the lot. |
| Quantity to reserve | Enter the quantity you want to reserve in the lot you
entered in the previous field. The quantity to reserve should be equal to the quantity to manufacture for the job. |
| Expiry date | Enter the expiry date for the lot. You will be unable
to enter a lot expiry date that is earlier than the job
delivery date. If you are reserving an existing lot, then you will be unable to change the expiry date. If you reserve an existing lot for a co-product, then the expiry date cannot be before the co-product's due date. If a shelf life is defined against the parent item (Stock Code Maintenance - Tracking), then the lot expiry date for new lots defaults to the job delivery date plus the shelf life of the parent item. If you reserve a lot which does not currently exist or was previously reserved for a co-product, then the Lot expiry date defaults to: co-product due date plus co-product shelf life. You may enter an expiry date, but this date may not be before the co-product's due date. |
| Add | Select this to add the lot to the listview of reserved
lots. The following information is displayed in the listview for each reserved lot:
|
| Change | Select this to change the quantity for the currently highlighted lot. |
| Remove | Select this to delete the currently highlighted lot from the listview of reserved lots. |
| Quantity to reserve | This indicates the quantity of the item for which you still need to reserve lots. The value in this field decreases whenever you use the Add function. |
| Next | Select this to proceed to the next screen once you have allocated all lots for the parent item. |
| Close | Select this to exit the lot reservation screen. You can reserve the lots later using the Browse on Jobs program. The lots you reserved during the current run of the program can be released or retained. |
You use this screen to reserve lots for the components of the parent item being manufactured.
Lots cannot be reserved for material allocations where a sub-job was created for the allocation. In this case, lots are reserved against the parent part for the sub-job.
This screen is only displayed if:
- a component used in the job is defined a lot traceable (Stock Code Maintenance - Tracking) and
- you selected to reserve lots for allocations (WIP Setup - Lots and serials tab).
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Stock code | This displays the stock code of the component item. |
| Description | This displays the description for the component item. |
| Reserve lot | Enter the lot you want to reserve. You cannot select a lot that expires before the material demand date. This is either the job delivery date less the offset days or operation queue date. This defaults to the job number if you selected the option: Lot number to be equal to job number (Lot Traceability Setup), but can be changed. You can only reserve more than one lot for a component if the option: Allow issues from multiple lots is selected against the component (Stock Code Maintenance - Tracking). Unless you selected the option: Same lot to be used on multiple stock codes (Lot Traceability Setup), you will not be able to enter a lot number which is already on file for another stock item. |
| Quantity to reserve | Enter the quantity you want to reserve from the lot you
entered in the previous field. The quantity to reserve should equal the quantity to issue for the allocation. You will be unable to reserve a quantity greater than that available for the lot (i.e. quantity on hand less quantity shipped less quantity previously reserved). |

If you enabled Manual serial number tracking (Inventory Setup - Numbering tab), then you can create sequential ranges of manual serial numbers either at company or stock code level. These serial numbers are created by combining the values in the Prefix and Next suffix fields defined either at company or stock code level.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Quantity to reserve | This indicates the number of items for which you want to reserve the current range of serial numbers. |
| Prefix |
This indicates the character(s) that must be attached to the beginning of the serial number. The prefix can only be entered if you defined your serial numbers to be alphanumeric (Company Maintenance - Key Types tab). Although you can enter 15 characters at the prefix field, the total number of characters for the serial number cannot exceed 20. If you enabled Manual serial number tracking (Inventory Setup - Numbering tab), then this field defaults to the value defined in the Prefix field against either the Company or the stock code, but can be changed. |
| Suffix |
This indicates the character(s) that must be attached to the end of the serial number. The suffix can only be entered if you defined your serial numbers to be alphanumeric (Company Maintenance - Key Types tab). The number of numeric characters entered for the suffix must allow for the total number of serial numbers specified at the Quantity to receive field. If you enabled Manual serial number tracking (Inventory Setup - Numbering tab), then this field defaults to the value defined in the Next suffix field against either the Company or the stock code, but can be changed. The system automatically increments the Next suffix for each new serial number created in the range, providing the number was created using the prefix defined in the Prefix field (Inventory Setup or Stock Code Maintenance). |
| Starting serial number |
This indicates the first number that must be used for this range of serial numbers. This field can only be accessed if you are using numeric serial numbers (Company Maintenance - Key Types tab). |
