The purpose of this page is to both search for and allocate inventory lots to sales Orders and Quotes in a single step. This page is most useful when you are entering an order interactively with a custom and/or selling out of existing inventory. Allocated Lots are added to the Sales transaction as either a new transaction line or as an update to an existing line. Users can view order progress by clicking on the 'Order Summary' tab.

(lightbulb) This page also contains columns for each attribute setup for 'Items' and 'Production Batches'. Additionally, this record view also contains columns for each Lot Certification with a certification 'Type' of "Item & Site". Because these are user defined, they are not included in the default view but can be added a saved column layout.Item attributes, Production Batch attributes and Lot Certifications are not included in the help documentation.

Add as New Item

 Takes all item(s) where users have entered allocated units or allocated weight and adds new line item(s) to the transaction, regardless of the existence of an identical item already on the transaction. If the checkbox next to the inventory lot is checked, but no allocated units or allocated weight was entered, then the inventory lot's full available quantities will be allocated. The 'Ord. Units' and 'Ord. Weight' fields will automatically populate from the 'Alloc. Units' and 'Alloc. Weight' fields. Additionally, the 'Price' field will default to "0.00".

Note: Users may enter either positive or negative allocations.

Add to Existing Item

 Replaces any existing allocations and updates the line item with the new allocation amounts, assuming the item and site combination already exists on the transaction. However, if the allocation amounts entered on the Find Lots page for the inventory lot do not match an existing order item and site combination, a new line item will be added to the transaction. If the checkbox next to the inventory lot is checked, but no allocated units or allocated weight was entered, then the inventory lot's full available quantities will be allocated. The 'Ord. Units' and 'Ord. Weight' fields will not be updated when allocations are made to existing line items.

Note: Users may enter either positive or negative allocations.
