If your Assembly SKU has the product setting Needs Lot Tracking enabled, you can add the lot when creating the work order. Type in the name of your lot and select the expiration date from the calendar module.
Things to Consider
- The option to add a lot and expiration to an assembly SKU will only show on the work order if the Assembly SKU has Needs lot tracking enabled. It is not automatically available if an assembly component has Needs lot tracking enabled.
- If you forget to enable the Needs lot tracking setting for the Assembly SKU before transferring completed Assembly SKUs to the Receiving location, you will need to manually assign the lot/expiration to the location after. More information about Creating and Managing Lots and Expirations can be found here.
- If an Assembly SKU has a single component, both have Needs lot tracking enabled, and the selected picking location of the component has a lot assigned, the Assembly SKU will automatically inherit the lot and expiration date of the assembly component SKU.
