Infor LN & Baan Materials Tips: Serialized and Lot Controlled Items

Serial and Lot are additional characteristics/properties of Items that can be used to uniquely or collectively identify and track the item along with its Item code. Any Item can be made as Serialized and/or Lot controlled by choosing options "Serialized" and "Lot Controlled" in Items-General session under traceability section on the Details tab.

Further in Items-Warehousing data under the Identification tab, you can enable "Lot Tracking", "Lot in Inventory", "Serial Tracking" and "Serial in Inventory" which enables tracking of the Items. You can also define if the Item is "Serial/Lot not in inventory" then where you want to record the serial and lot details in the transactions like "Direct Delivery", "Receipt", "Transfer", "Register during As-Built, Service and Maintenance".

Below are some topics related to Serialized and Lot Controlled Items that will be useful:

Convert non-Serialized Item to Serialized and non-Lot Controlled item to Lot Controlled and Vice Versa

If Item is created as non-Serialized and/or non-Lot controlled... To change them to Serialized or Lot Controlled, here are some standard Sessions that can be used:

1.Convert (to) Serialized Item (whltc5201m000) can also be accessed from Item-Serials and Warehouses session's Specific Menu.

Note: Once Item is marked or converted as Serialized, it is not possible to revert the item to non-Serialized Items using this session. If any Item has to be converted to non-Serialized, then some Knowledge articles are available to show workaround steps.

2. Convert (to) Lot Item (whltc1202m000) can also be accessed from Item-Lot session's Specific Menu.
