Design#
The Stock Lot Module introduces or extends the following concepts:
Lot#
A Lot represents a set of a single Product, often delivered or manufactured at the same time. Among other properties, a Lot has a number to identify it. The Lot is associated with a batch of stock by tagging the Stock Moves of the products with that Lot.
Lot Quantity#
The amount of a Lot in a Stock Location is calculated in the same way as the Product Quantity with a filter on the Stock Moves.
Wizards#
Add Lots#
The Add Lots wizard allows the user to easily add multiple Lots to a Stock Move by defining a lot number and quantity. The Stock Move is then split and assigned to the Lots.
Lot Trace#
The Lot Trace shows the usage of a Stock Lot over time by displaying the upward and downward traces as a tree structure. This is used to provide full Traceability for each stock lot.
Inventory#
The Inventory is extended to allow the Stock Lot to be specified along with the Product for each line.
Product#
When the Stock Lot Module is activated, products get some additional properties. These include a list of Location types where a lot is required when the product is moved from or to them. A sequence can be defined to automatically generate lot numbers for the product. A default value for all products can be set for all products in the Product Configuration.
