The Lot Balances list view displays all inventory lots in NorthScope with their corresponding properties. Inventory lots are composed of the unique combination of Item, Site, Production Batch, Warehouse Lot and Owner.
This list view also contains columns for each Attribute that is set up for the 'Items' attribute type and the 'Production Batches' attribute type. Additionally, this list view also contains columns for each Lot Certification with a certification 'Type' of "Item & Site". Item attributes, Production Batch attributes and Lot Certifications are not automatically included in the default view. Because these attributes and lot certifications are user defined, they are not included in the help documentation.

| Fields | Description |
| Actual Cost | Displays the Actual Cost assigned to the item or lot. The Actual Cost reflects the cost that will post to the General Ledger for Items with a 'Costing Method' of "Active". 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_IMItem.CurrentCost |
| Allocated (+) | Displays the allocated quantity to be added to the Available balance for an Inventory Lot or Item. This is a calculated field and not stored in the database. The Allocated (+) balance is the quantity, that has been allocated, on an open transaction containing incoming product. The Allocated (+) balance increases the Available balance. Unlike Committed (+) which represents "requested" balances, Allocated (+) represents "assigned" balances. For example, a Customer may order 15 Cases and only be shipped 10. The 10 Cases would signify what was actually shipped. The Allocated (+) balance is comprised of:
Note: each of the Inventory Transactions can be conditionally included/excluded from the Allocated balances based on the "Include open ### transactions in Available balances" Inventory Preference. If the preference are set to "Yes", they will be included in Allocated balances and used to update the Available balances, if they are set to "No", they will not be included in Allocated so they will not update Available balances. Additionally, for Production Order Outputs, these can be conditionally included/excluded from the Allocated balances based on the "First status to include Production Order Outputs in Available balances" Inventory Preference. If the transaction is set to a status equal to or greater than the Preference value, and is not in a status of Closed and not set to "Do Not Include", it will be included in Allocated balances and used to update the Available balances, otherwise if the status is set to a value less than the Preference value, it will not be included in Allocated so they will not update Available balances. |
| Allocated (-) | Displays the allocated quantity to be subtracted from the Available balance for an Inventory Lot or Item. This is a calculated field and not stored in the database. The Allocated (-) balance is the quantity, that has been allocated, on an open transaction containing outgoing product. The Allocated (-) balance reduces the Available balance. Unlike Committed (-) which represents "requested" demand on product, Allocated (-) represents the quantity that has been "assigned" and has/will ship. For example, if a Customer orders 15 cases and only 10 are allocated, the Available balance will be reduced by 15 made up of Allocated (-) of 10 cases and Committed (-) of 5 cases. The Allocated (-) balance is comprised of:
Note: Each of the Inventory Transactions can be conditionally included/excluded from the Allocated balances based on the "Include open ### transactions in Available balances" Inventory Preference. If the preference are set to "Yes", they will be included in Allocated balances and used to update the Available balances, if they are set to "No", they will not be included in Allocated so they will not update Available balances. Additionally, for Production Order Inputs, these can be conditionally included/excluded from the Allocated balances based on the "First status to include Production Order Inputs in Available balances" Inventory Preference. If the transaction is set to a status equal to or greater than the Preference value, and is not in a status of Closed and not set to "Do Not Include", it will be included in Allocated balances and used to update the Available balances, otherwise if the status is set to a value less than the Preference value, it will not be included in Allocated so they will not update Available balances. |
| Available | Displays the available balance of an item or Inventory Lot, stated in terms of the Item's "Reporting UOM". If the Item' Reporting UOM is "Lbs" then this would represent the Available Lbs. If the Item' Reporting UOM is "Case" then this would represent the Available Cases. This can be edited when units or weight for an item on an inventory transaction has been entered or units or weight for an item on a sales order has been committed or allocated. This is a calculated field and not stored in the database. The Available balance is calculated as: [On Hand] - [On Hold (-)] + [Committed (+)] - [Committed (-)] + [Allocated (+)]- [Allocated (-)] - [Quoted (-)] Note: Each of the Inventory Transactions and Sales Quote transactions can be conditionally included/excluded from the Available balances based on the "Include open ### transactions in Available balances" Inventory Preference. If the preference is set to "Yes", Inventory Transactions will be included in Committed and Allocated balances, and Quotes will be included in the Quoted balances and used to update the Available balances. If they are set to "No", they will not be included in Committed, Allocated and Quoted balances, so they will not update Available balances. |
| Batch Comment | Displays the batch comment assigned to the corresponding Production Batch. This field defaults as blank. This can be edited from the 'Batch Comment' field on the Properties tab of the Production Batch record view. Database Field: ERPx_IMProductionLot.LotComment |
| Batch Date | Displays the date the Production Batch was produced, formatted from the users 'Date Format' preference. This is the date used to age the product. This defaults to the date the batch was created. This can be edited from the 'Batch Date' field on the Properties tab of the Production Batch record view. Database Field: ERPx_IMProductionLot.DateProduced |
| Batch Site ID | Identifies the Site where the Production Batch was born, created, or initially received. This value defaults from the 'Site' selected on the Inventory transaction that created the Production Batch. This can be edited from the 'Production Batch Site' field on the Properties tab of the Production Batch record view. Database Field: ERPx_IMProductionLot.ManufactureSiteSK |
| Closed By | Identifies the name of user that closed the Lot. It is formatted to be the "logged-in" users [User First Name] + [User Last Name]. This is a system assigned value and is never editable by a user. Database Field: ERPx_IMLotBalance.ClosedBy |
| Closed Date | Identifies the date that lot was closed, formatted from the users 'Date Format' preference. This is a system assigned value and is never editable by a user. Database Field: ERPx_IMLotBalance.ClosedDateTime |
| Committed (+) | Displays the requested quantity to be added to the Available balance for an Inventory Lot or Item. This is a calculated field and not stored in the database. The Committed (+) balance is the ordered (requested) quantity, that has not yet been allocated, on an open transaction containing incoming product. The Committed (+) balance increases the Available balance. The Committed (+) balance is comprised of:
Note: Each of the Inventory Transactions can be conditionally included/excluded from the Committed balances based on the "Include open ### transactions in Available balances" Inventory Preference. If the preference are set to "Yes", they will be included in Committed balances and used to update the Available balances, if they are set to "No", they will not be included in Committed so they will not update Available balances. Additionally, for Production Order Outputs and unreceived Purchase Order quantities, these can be conditionally included/excluded from the Committed balances based on the "First status to include ##### in Available balances" Inventory Preferences. If the transaction is set to a status equal to or greater than the Preference value, and is not in a status of Closed and not set to "Do Not Include", they will be included in Committed balances and used to update the Available balances, otherwise if the status is set to a value less than the Preference value, they will not be included in Committed so they will not update Available balances. |
| Committed (-) | Displays the requested quantity to be subtracted from the Available balance for an Inventory Lot or Item. This is a calculated field and not stored in the database. The Committed (-) balance is the ordered (requested) quantity, that has not yet been allocated, on an open transaction containing outgoing product. The Committed (-) balance reduces the Available balance. The Committed (-) balance is comprised of:
Note: Each Inventory Transaction can be conditionally included/excluded from the Committed balances based on the "Include open ### transactions in Available balances" Inventory Preference. If the preference are set to "Yes", they will be included in Committed balances and used to update the Available balances, if they are set to "No", they will not be included in Committed so they will not update Available balances. Additionally, for Production Order Inputs, these can be conditionally included/excluded from the Committed balances based on the "First status to include Production Order Inputs in Available balances" Inventory Preference. If the transaction is set to a status equal to or greater than the Preference value, and is not in a status of Closed and not set to "Do Not Include", it will be included in Committed balances and used to update the Available balances, otherwise if the status is set to a value less than the Preference value, it will not be included in Committed so they will not update Available balances. |
| Cost UOM | Identifies the unit of measure the item's cost is stated in terms of. This is the value assigned in the "Cost UOM" property on the Item Record View. Database Field: ERPx_IMItem.CostUOMSK |
| Costing Status | Identifies whether the Lot is Open or Closed for Cost changes. If a Lot is Closed for Costing, no cost changes can be made. This can be edited from the 'Costing Status' property on the Mass Update dialog. Database Fields: ERPx_IMLotBalance.LayerCostingStatusEN |
| Country of Origin | Displays the name of the Country that the Production Batch originated in. The value is stored in the 'Country of Origin' Tab on the Production Batch Record View. If no 'Country of Origin' has been assigned, this will be blank, if there is only one 'Country of Origin' assigned to the Production Batch then the name of that country will be displayed. If there is more than one country assigned on the 'Country of Origin' Tab then this will indicate "Multiple". This field defaults as blank. This can be edited from the 'Country of Origin' tab of the Production Batch record view. |
| Days Old | Displays the calculated age (in days) of the Production Batch. It is calculated as the (Current Date) - [Batch Date]. This can be edited by changing the 'Batch Date' field on the Properties tab of the Production Batch record view. This is not stored in the database. |
| Days Until Expiration | Identifies the number of days before a Lot "expires". This is calculated using the 'Batch Expiration Date' on the Properties tab of the Production Batch Record View and subtracting the current date. This can be edited by changing the 'Batch Expiration Date' field on the Properties tab of the Production Batch record view. This is not stored in the database. If the Batch Expiration Date is:
|
| Expiration Date | Displays the "Batch Expiration Date" assigned to the Production Batch. This defaults by adding the value set on the Item's 'Expiration Days' to the 'Batch Date' assigned to the Production Batch. Database Field: ERPx_IMProductionLot.ExpirationDate |
| Hold Code | Displays the name of the Hold Code placed on the lot. This defaults as blank and can be edited by setting the 'Hold Code' field on the Mass Update dialog box launched from the Lot Balances Inquiry list view. Hold Codes are used to prevent a process from being performed or a transaction from being posted. Database Field: ERPx_IMLotBalanceHold.HoldCodeSK where ERPx_IMLotBalance.LotSK = ERPx_IMLotBalanceHold.LotSK |
| Is Lot Expired | Identifies if a Lot is expired.
|
| Item: Description | Identifies the Item, displayed as Item ID: Item Description. This comes from and can be edited from the 'Item Description' field on the Properties tab of the Item record view. Database Fields: ERPX_IMItem.ItemID, ERPX_IMItem.ItemDescription |
| Lot Status | Displays whether the Inventory Lot is Open or Closed. Displays "Closed" if the Lot has been closed or blank if the Lot is open. When created, inventory lots default as open. This can be edited by setting the 'Lot Status' field on the Mass Update dialog box launched from the Lot Balances Inquiry list view. Database Field: ERPx_IMLotBalance.StatusSK |
| Market Cost | Displays the Market Cost assigned to the item or lot. This is the Market base cost when the the Source is Base and Market layer cost when the source is Layer. The Market Cost reflects the estimated "market" value for the inventory. Market Costs are typically set by taking Actual costs and adding additional components such as delivered freight, brokerage/rebate amounts, and desired profit margin. For each individual LotSK, this is calculated as the [Market Base Cost Rate] + sum of all the [Market Cost Layer Rates]. Market Costs are typically maintained in companies where costs and/or margin needs to be shown/used in Sales Order based on the current market value of the item, not the Actual costs. Database Field: ERPx_IMItem.MarketCost |
| On Hand | Displays the On Hand balance of an item or Inventory Lot, stated in terms of the Item's "Reporting UOM". If the Item' Reporting UOM is "Lbs" then this would represent the On Hand Lbs. If the Item' Reporting UOM is "Case" then this would represent the On Hand Cases. This can be edited when units or weight for an item on an inventory transaction has been Posted or units or weight for an allocated item on a sales order has been Posted. This is a calculated field and not stored in the database. The On Hand balance is intended to reflect the quantity of an Inventory Lot that is physically in the facility. On-Hand balances are maintained for all items with an 'Item Type' of "Sales Inventory" whether they are Lot Tracked or not. On Hand balances are updated when the 'Status' of Inventory and Sales transactions is changed to "Ready To Post". However, for companies that want unposted Sales Orders to updated the On Hand balances as soon as they are marked as Shipped, they can set the "Include Shipped & Approved Sales Orders in On Hand balances" Inventory Preference to "Yes". The On Hand balance is the starting point of the Available balance calculation. Note: For companies that want unposted Sales Orders to update the On Hand balances as soon as they are marked as Shipped, they can set the "Include Shipped & Approved Sales Orders in On Hand balances" Inventory Preference to "Yes". |
| On Hold (-) | Displays the On Hold balance of an item or Inventory Lot, stated in terms of the Item's "Reporting UOM". If the Item' Reporting UOM is "Lbs" then this would represent the On Hold Lbs. If the Item' Reporting UOM is "Case" then this would represent the On Hold Cases. When a lot is placed On Hold, the On Hold balance is taken from the Available balance. The On Hold balance is increased by the entire lot's On Hand balance (not the item's On Hand balance). The On Hold balance is decreased when the lot is removed from on hold and the amount is added back to the Available balance. This is a calculated field and not stored in the database. The On Hold balance reflects the On Hand balance of an Inventory Lot with a Hold Code assigned, provided the 'On Hand' balance is > 0.00. For example, if the 'On Hand' balance of an Inventory Lot is 10.00 Lbs and the Lot is put on Hold, then the 'On Hold' balance will be 10 Lbs. If the 'On Hand' balance of an Inventory Lot is -30.00 Lbs and the Lot is put on Hold, then the 'On Hold' balance would be 0.00 Lbs (because the Lot balance was <= 0.00). On Hold balances are updated when a Hold Code is assigned or removed from an Inventory Lot. Hold Codes can be assigned to any Inventory Lot and the On Hold balances always reduce the Available balance. Inventory Lots that are On Hold cannot be allocated to a sales transaction, unless done so by a user that is assigned in the 'Can Override' property on the Hold Code, and they cannot be allocated to any inventory transaction. An Inventory Lot can only have a single Hold Code applied at any given time. |
| Owner | Identifies the Lot Owner of the Inventory Lot. This comes from the 'Owner' field for a line item on the Items grid on an Inventory transaction. This is not editable after the transaction has been Saved. Owners are used to identify who owns the inventory. Additional Owners are typically added for companies that do custom processing and need to keep that inventory separate from their own. Owner is one of the 5 components that make up a unique Inventory Lot and it is required on all Inventory Lots. 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:
Database Field: ERPx_IMLotOwner.OwnerName |
| Production Batch | Identifies the Production Batch ID of the Lot. This value defaults from the 'Production Batch' value specified on the Inventory transaction that created the Production Batch. This can be edited from the 'Production Batch' field on the Properties tab of the Production Batch record view. If the inventory lot is committed and the item is not lot tracked, this value will display as "Item Tracked". If the inventory lot is committed and the item is not tracked, this value will display as "Commitments". A Production Batch is the identifier that contains all the Traceability information (Production Batch Properties and Attributes) for Lot Tracked Items. This number stays attached to the product, even if it is transferred to another Site. Production Batch is one of the 5 components that make up a unique Inventory Lot and it is required when entering a transaction line for a Lot Tracked Item. This value will be blank and/or disabled for all non-Lot Tracked items on screens that include a Production Batch field. 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:
Database Field: ERPx_IMProductionLot.ProductionLotID |
| Quoted (-) | Displays the allocated quantity to be subtracted from the Available balance for an Inventory Lot or Item. This is a calculated field and not stored in the database. The Quoted (-) balance is the allocated quantity on an open Quote transaction containing outgoing product. The Quoted (-) balance reduces the Available balance if the “Include Quote transactions in Available balances” preference is set to “Yes”. If the lot is not yet allocated, the Quoted (-) column will be blank. Once Quote transactions are saved as Approved (and therefore converted to a Sales Order), the Quoted (-) quantity for the corresponding item/lot will be blank and will be displayed in the Allocated (-) column. Note: Each Quote Transaction can be conditionally included/excluded from the Quoted balance based on the "Include Quote transactions in Available balances" Inventory Preference. If the preference are set to "Yes", they will be included in Quoted balances and used to update the Available balances, if they are set to "No", they will not be included in Quoted so they will not update Available balances. |
| Received From | Displays the name of the Vendor, Fisherman, or Grower that was the source of the Production Batch on the Receipt transaction. The value is stored in the 'Received From' Tab on the Production Batch Record View. If no 'Received From' has been assigned, this will be blank, if there is only one 'Received From' assigned to the Production Batch then the name of that source will be displayed. If there is more than one name assigned on the 'Received From' Tab then this will indicate "Multiple". This field defaults as blank. This can be edited from the 'Received From' tab of the Production Batch Record View. |
| Site ID | Identifies the unique Site ID (warehouse ID) of the Site the transaction, shipment, item, or lot is associated with. This defaults from the 'Site' field on the 'Home' tab of the Inventory transaction or the 'Default Site' field on the 'Home' tab of the Sales Order transaction. This is not editable after the transaction has been Saved. Sites represent Plants, Warehouses, Distribution Centers, or virtual objects that are used to store and/or maintain perpetual inventory balances. Database Fields: ERPx_MFSite.SiteID, ERPx_IMLotBalance.SiteSK |
| Site Name | Identifies the name of the Site (Warehouse) that the transaction, shipment, receipt, item, or lot is associated with. This field defaults from the 'Site' field on the 'Home' tab of the Inventory transaction or the 'Default Site' field on the 'Home' tab of the sales order transaction. This field is not editable after the transaction has been Saved. Sites represent Plants, Warehouses, Distribution Centers, or virtual objects that are used to store and/or maintain perpetual inventory balances. Database Fields: ERPx_MFSite.SiteName, ERPx_IMLotBalance.SiteSK |
| Standard Cost | Displays the Standard Cost assigned to the item or lot. This is the Standard base cost when the Source is Base and Standard layer cost when the source is Layer. The Standard Cost reflects the pre-determined "target" value for the inventory. For each individual LotSK, this is calculated as the [Standard Base Cost Rate] + sum of all the [Standard Cost Layer Rates]. Standard Costs are typically managed in companies where items have a planned or target cost amount and any variances to actual costs are reflected as expenses on the P&L and not in the Inventory Balance Sheet accounts. Database Field: ERPx_IMItem.StandardCost |
| Unit UOM | Identifies the default inventory unit of measure that the units are stored in (boxes, Bags, Cases, Totes, etc.) for the item. This field comes from and can be edited from the 'Inventory Unit UOM' property on the 'Properties' tab of the Item record view. A UOM is a quantity used as a standard of measurement. It identifies how much makes up "1" of the measurement. Examples include Bag, Box, Each, Kg, Lb, ext. Database Field: ERPx_IMLotBalance.UnitsUOMSK |
| Units - Avail. | Displays the available units of the item or lot at the corresponding site. This can be edited when units for an item on an inventory transaction has been entered or units for an item on a sales transaction have been committed, allocated or quoted. The Available Units balance is calculated as [On Hand Units] - [On Hold] - [Committed] - [Allocated] - [Quoted] + any balances from open transactions. This is a calculated field and not stored in the database. |
| Units - On Hand | Displays the On Hand units of the item at the corresponding Site or Inventory Lot. This can be updated when units for an item on an inventory transaction has been Posted or units for an allocated item on a sales order has been Posted. This is a calculated field and not stored in the database. Note: For companies that want unposted Sales Orders to update the On Hand balances as soon as they are marked as Shipped, they can set the "Include Shipped & Approved Sales Orders in On Hand balances" Inventory Preference to "Yes". |
| UOM | Identifies the default reporting unit of measure that the weight (Lbs, Kg, Oz, Ton, etc.) or units (boxes, Bags, Cases, Totes, etc.) of the item is stored in. This field comes from and can be edited from the 'Default Reporting UOM' property on the 'Properties' tab of the Item record view. A UOM is a quantity used as a standard of measurement. It identifies how much makes up "1" of the measurement. Examples include Bag, Box, Each, Kg, Lb, ext. Database Field: ERPx_IMLotBalance.UnitsUOMSK or ERPx_IMLotBalance.WeightUOMSK |
| UOM Schedule | Identifies the UOM Schedule that is used to determine what Units of Measure are to be used for specific items that are bought, sold and manufactured as well as the conversions for those Units of Measure. Database Field: ERPX_IMItem.UOMScheduleSK |
| Warehouse Lot | Identifies the Warehouse Lot to which the selected item or inventory lot belongs. This value defaults from the 'Warehouse Lot' value specified on the Inventory transaction that created the Inventory Lot. This can be edited from the 'Warehouse Lot' field on the Warehouse Lots list view. A Warehouse Lot (aka Storage Lot) is used by 3rd party distribution sites to identify a unique quantity of product they are storing. Unlike a Production Batch number that never changes, Warehouse Lots will change as product is transferred to other Sites and/or transferred into exiting Warehouse Lots within the same Site. The 'Warehouse Lot' is one of the 5 components that make up a unique Inventory Lot and it is required when entering a transaction line on a transaction for a Warehouse Lot Tracked Site. This value will be blank and/or disabled for all non-Warehouse Lot Tracked Sites on screens that include a Warehouse Lot field. 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:
Database Fields: ERPx_IMWarehouseLot.WarehouseLotID, ERPx_IMLotBalance.WarehouseLotSK |
| Weight - Avail. | This field displays the available weight of the item or lot at the corresponding site. This can be edited when weight for an item on an inventory transaction has been entered or weight for an item on a sales transaction have been committed, allocated or quoted. The Available Weight balance is calculated as [On Hand Weight] - [On Hold] - [Committed] - [Allocated] - [Quoted] + any balances from open transactions. This is a calculated field and not stored in the database. |
| Weight - On Hand | Displays the On Hand weight of the item at the corresponding Site or Inventory Lot. This can be updated when weight for an item on an inventory transaction has been Posted or weight for an allocated item on a sales order has been Posted. This is a calculated field and not stored in the database. Note: For companies that want unposted Sales Orders to update the On Hand balances as soon as they are marked as Shipped, they can set the "Include Shipped & Approved Sales Orders in On Hand balances" Inventory Preference to "Yes". |
| Weight UOM | Identifies the default inventory unit of measure that the weight is stored in (Lbs, Kg, Oz, Ton, etc.) for the item. This field comes from and can be edited from the 'Inventory Weight UOM' property on the 'Properties' tab of the Item record view. A UOM is a quantity used as a standard of measurement. It identifies how much makes up "1" of the measurement. Examples include Bag, Box, Each, Kg, Lb, ext. Database Field: ERPx_IMLotBalance.WeightUOMSK |
