Lot Control
This chapter covers the following topics:
Overview of Lot Control
Setting Up Lot Control
Setting Up Grade Control
Item Lots
Assigning Lot Numbers Within Transactions
Lot Action Codes
Viewing Lot Genealogy
Lot Control Reports
Child Lot
A child lot is a subdivision of a lot that you can use if you produce a lot over a period of time, but still want to group the material as a single lot. Using a
child lot maintains the integrity of the lot, but enables you to consume it in manageable pieces. When you process transactions for material under child lot
control, you enter the child lot as the lot number. The system also maintains a genealogy relationship between the parent lot and the child lot. See
Inventory Attribute Group for information about enabling child lot control.
Expired Lots
You can assign lot control shelf life days, or enter a lot expiration date to determine when a lot expires. The expiration date controls the availability of the
lot for transacting and planning purposes. An expired lot:
Is not considered as on-hand supply when you are performing min-max, reorder point, or MRP planning calculations
Cannot be reserved for a date beyond the expiration date
Can be transacted and is included in on-hand quantities
Is included in all inquiries and reports, including inventory valuation reports
Is included in a cycle count and count entry and adjustments are allowed
Is included in a physical inventory and tag entry and adjustments are allowed

Disabled Lots
Disabling a lot only prevents it from appearing in a list of values when you are performing receipt transactions. If you type in the lot number, it is valid and
accepted even though it was not in the list of values. Disabling is used only for tailoring this specific instance of the list of values for lot numbers. A
disabled lot:
Is included in available to transact, available to promise, and available to reserve calculations
Is included as on-hand supply when you are performing min-max, reorder point or MRP planning calculations
Is included as on-hand in all inquiries and reports, including inventory valuation report
Can be transacted with Inventory functions and the Transaction Open Interface
Can be reserved
Cycle Counting
Oracle Inventory includes the lot numbers of the items to count during a cycle count when it generates a cycle count listing. You must assign lot numbers
to all items under lot control for which you enter counts. If a difference exists between the count quantity and the system on-hand quantity, then the
system adjusts the item quantity in that lot.

control, a certain number of item shelf life days from the date that you receive the item, or a user-definedexpiration date for each lot. The system
does not consider the expired lot as on-hand supply when it performs min-max, reorder point, or MRP planning calculations. You also cannot
reserve an expired lot. See Inventory Attribute Group.
3. Establish lot number uniqueness.
You use the Organization Parameters window to specify whether lot numbers should be unique for an item.
If you do not establish lot number uniqueness, you can assign the same lot number to multiple items in the same organization and across
organizations. If you control lot number uniqueness at the Master level, you can assign a specific lot number only to one item in the same
organization and across organizations. When you perform transactions, Oracle Inventory checks the lot number uniqueness control to generate lot
number defaults. See Defining Organization Parameters.
4. Optionally, determine whether to automatically generate lot number defaults.
You use the Organization Parameters window to specify how to generate lot number defaults. You can generate sequential lot numbers based on
an alphanumeric prefix that you specify when you define an item. Oracle Inventory can also generate lot number defaults for the entire
organization. In this case, you must define a lot number prefix at the Organization level in the Organization Parameters window.
If you do not want Oracle Inventory to automatically generate lot number defaults for you, you can enter your own lot numbers when you receive
items. You can always override lot number defaults. See Defining Organization Parameters.
To set up lot control in Oracle Work in Process
1. Use the Work in Process Parameters window to set up lot control in Oracle Work in Process. You select the option by which Oracle Work in Process
defaults and verifies lot numbers during backflush transactions. You also specify the method by which Oracle Work in Process defaults lot numbers
on discrete jobs for lot controlled assemblies. See Overview of Material Control, Oracle Work in Process User's Guide and Overview of Shop Floor
Control, Oracle Work in Process User's Guide.
