The On Hold balance reflects the quantity of an Inventory Lot that is physically in the facility but has been placed on hold. On Hold balances are updated when Hold Codes are assigned or removed from Inventory Lots. On Hold balances impact the Available Balance calculation.
An Inventory Lot is the most granular level that item balances (quantities of Units and/or Weight) are stored within NorthScope. Inventory Lots are created for all Inventory Items assigned an Item Type of “Inventory', regardless of whether the Item is Lot Tracked (i.e., balances are maintained by Production Batch) or the Site containing the product is 'Warehouse Lot' tracked or not.
An Inventory Lot is unique by combination of:
- Item: The Item ID (required for all Inventory Lots)
- Site: The Site/Warehouse that contains the inventory (required for all Inventory Lots)
- Production Batch: The date code or other traceability reference that stays with product and never changes. It is required for Items with a 'Lot Tracked' property of "Yes" and will be blank for Items with a 'Lot Tracked' property of "No"
- Warehouse Lot: The identifier or location within a Site/Warehouse, this is most typically used for 3rd party distribution sites. It is required for 'Inventory Lots' in a Warehouse Lot tracked Site and will be blank for 'Inventory Lots' in a non Warehouse Lot tracked Site. This has nothing to do with whether the Item is 'Lot Tracked' or not.
- Owner: Identifies who owns the product. This is required for all Inventory Lots.
On Hold Lots cannot be allocated
Only Lot Tracked Items can be placed on Hold
