The purpose of this page is to search and view Inventory Lot balances as of a specific date. An Inventory Lot defines the quantity of product that is unique by combination of Item, Site, Production Batch, Warehouse Lot and Owner.
This inquiry also contains columns for each Attribute that is set up for the 'Items' attribute type. Because these are user defined, they are not included in the default view but can be added a saved layout. Item attributes are not included in the help documentation.

For some items this may be set from a default or "standard" cost rate and for other items this may reflect that actual amount paid to purchase or incurred to produce the product. For each individual LotSK, this is calculated as the [Actual Base Cost Rate] + sum of all the [Actual Cost Layer Rates]. Database Field: ERPx_IMLotCostHistory.Cost |
