Field help (LOTMGTCOD)

Specify in this block whether the product will be lot managed. The lot can be mandatory or optional (in the latter, it will be possible to have for the same product, stock lines with and without lots). The lot number is a differentiating criterion for the stock line.
SEEREFERTTO See the description of a Stock line for further information.
It is also possible to make provision for management with sub lots, which are sub-divisions of a lot. The sublot number is also a differentiating criterion for the stock line. The numbering of sub-lots is free (number or group of characters for 5 places, by default, on stock receipt the first sub-lot for a lot will be suggested to 00001).

The lot management mode for the product stock entries depends on this parameter:

'Not management': the product is not managed by lot in stock. This rule is applied to entries as well as to issues,
'Optional lot': the product lot number is not mandatory. It is then possible to have for a same product stock lines with lot and stock lines without lot,
'Mandatory lot': the product lot number is mandatory,
'Lot and sub-lot': the sub-lot is a sub-division of the lot.

The choice of lot management mode can only be modified if the product has no stock.
