The purpose of this inquiry is to display each transaction that affects the balance of an inventory lot. From the inquiry, users may open the corresponding inventory transaction Record View or Sales Order Record View. This inquiry displays transactions that have been posted. This inquiry can be accessed from both the Inquiries page or from the Item Balances Inquiry and Lot Balances Inquiry List Views by selecting a one or more line item(s) and clicking "View Lot History" toolbar icon.
This inquiry also contains columns for each Attribute that is set up for the 'Items' attribute type and the 'Production Batches' attribute type.

Item attributes, Production Batch attributes and Lot Certifications are automatically included in the default view. However, because these attributes and lot certifications are user defined, they are not included in the help documentation.
