During the receiving process, you can add lot and expiration dates to products, as long as Lot & Expiration Date tracking is enabled for that SKU. Follow the steps below to add this information during receiving.
Important Note
Each location can only have one lot code or expiration date per SKU. Receiving a different lot into a location that already has inventory for another lot will return an error, e.g., Cannot use Lot Test 2 for SKU glass-globe and location A-01-100 since there's still inventory with lot Test 3. This restriction prevents picking errors.
How to Receive Products with Lots
- Go to the Purchase Orders page and select the PO you want to receive.
- Click the Receiving Page button in the top right corner.
- Scan the SKU barcode or click the Accepted column for that product.
- In the window that opens, select or add a Lot, enter the quantity being received, and select or scan the location.
If you forgot to enable Needs Lot Tracking before processing a purchase order, select the Activate Lot link to open the product details page and enable the setting.
