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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
