A lot number is a combination of numerical digits that are given to a group of products that have commonalities. Maybe they were manufactured in the same batch or contain a common material. Lot numbers are often assigned to groups of products from a manufacturer. Every company has a different way of assigning lot numbers to a product. It could be based on the manufacture date, location, expiration date or a combination of multiple numbers.
Lot tracking is the process of recording how each product moves in and out of our inventory. We will apply the lot number to our reporting and be able to look at trends with specific lots, and understand how some may have moved faster or slower than others, or we can also check for which lot there is a larger or lesser profit. This is helpful if we notice that we have a lot of returns from the same lot — perhaps there’s a defect or similar issue to look into.
We can come across this mistake that when a lot-tracked product is received into stock but assigned an incorrect lot number. In this instance user will likely need to update the available stock in one lot with a new or another existing lot number. Fortunately Sage X3 makes it quick and simple to update your lot information.
