Use the function "Characteristics Change" to modify the title of a lot or sub-lot (if title management is available for the product) as well as the shelf life and expiry date (if expiry management is available) and possible user sections defined on the lot.

The "Lot characteristics change" screen is based on a Lot modification transaction that is notably used to specify what lot information can be modified.

Screen management

Header

Entry screen

A screen is dedicated to the entry of a change slip for lot characteristics. The presentation of the issue note depends on the transaction chosen.

If a single transaction is set up, no choice is offered upon entering the function. Otherwise, a window opens to present the list of transactions likely to be used (the choice can also be restricted using access codes).

Header information

According to the chosen transaction setup, change slips for lot characteristics can be linked to a movement group code, a project code and a movement description.

Movement group: this is a statistical information that will be recorded in the stock journal at the moment of saving the transaction. This movement group is taken from miscellaneous table no. 9. The value given in the transaction setup corresponds to a default value that can/cannot be visualized and/or modified according to the transaction setup (entry field, displayed, hidden).  

Movement description: This is a free text that will be recorded in the stock journal when saving the transaction.

Selecting the lot to process

The lot Characteristics Change function processes one lot or sub-lot at a time. You need to select a product (only products managed by lot can be selected) and then a lot or sub-lot, if sub-lot management is available for the given product.

Selecting a lot subject to a pending validation analysis is not possible and selecting a lot subject to a detailed allocation either.

Lots present in several sites cannot be modified with this function. To modify them, use the function "Lot mass change".

Use the right-button Selection in the lot field to select the required lot or sub-lot.

Changing the selected lot characteristics

Once the lot or sub-lot to process is selected, the values on title information, expiry, and user sections before modification are displayed in the Before left block. These fields cannot be entered.

The After block displays the same fields but they can be entered depending on whether title and/or expiry management is allowed. Any required modification should be entered here.

The transaction setup can also limit the access to lot fields to be modified.

By activating the [Create] button, a slip specific to lot modification and two stock movements can be generated in the stocks journal: an "issue" type movement followed by a "receipt" type movement having the set of modified characteristics of the lot/sub-lot.

Lot detail

Use this button to access the detailed stock inquiry for the product and lot being processed.

Error messages

The only error messages are the generic ones.
