Setting Lot/Serials

When an item that can have lot/serials is picked the lot/serial screen appears for entry. To add picked quantity for an item that can have lot/serials without using lot/serials for its quantity, the lot/serials screen must be exited with no lots/serials entered. The quantity from the quantity box will then be entered.

 

Quantities for Items with lot/serials can only be changing through the lot/serial screen. Double-Clicking an item with lot/serials will bring up the lot/serial screen. An item's lot/serials can also be accessed from the item menu.
