Tips and Tricks

Once upon a time, there was the Lot managed in Inventory. One day he understood to be grown-up and asked programmers to be implemented in WMS as well. And so it happened!

The story of our Lot begins with the Goods Receipt, where its "parents" (users who issue Goods Receipt document) give it a name (code) and associate it with goods. Its name may be entirely new or may be equal to supplier lot number.  This name (lot number) will be recorded and will be connected to the stock of goods: if anyone wants to move it, its name will always be maintained.

In WMS is possible to manage the items indicating the lot, without the lot, or in mixed situations: i.e. it is possible to have items that initially have no associated lots and that only at a later time are entered with different lot numbers. In the latter case, during unloading, our Lot will have to "let go first" all stocks of the item that have not been " lucky"  in that they have not acquired the name (code) of the Lots family: when there will be no one else, then it can be unloaded as well.

Therefore, if you intend to use the goods of our Lot will always be necessary to indicate its name. During unloading (picking from Preshipping) if you do not indicate its name on the document, the program will propose the close "relatives"  (the other lots of the item) according to program settings (picking strategies ). If you want to know "relatives" that have been consumed, just use the appropriate button and the program will show all the lots taken.
