☆ NEW FEATURE for AV 2015.1.1.2 ☆

The Lot Locking feature allows users to "lock" specific Inventory Lots and remove those units from available inventory. For example, instead of setting up an "in transit" warehouse, you can receive inventory into the main warehouse, lock those units, and then release the lock when units arrive. Another example would be to lock the units associated with a Credit Memo until they've passed a QC inspection.

• Locked Lots will not be displayed for either Sales Order Fulfillment or Warehouse Transfer Fulfillment. Inventory can not be drawn out of stock from a Locked Lot.
• The History section of a Locked Lot will display: User/System, Date, Time, Username, Note/Reason.
• The system also has the ability to lock a Lot. The system will lock a Lot only if the remaining quantity is smaller than the smallest Unit of Measure.
  • Typically this will only happen if:
    • (A) you are selling fractional units of your default Unit of Measure
    • AND
    • (B) your default UM is not the smallest UM that you sell
  • Example: Let's say we are in the business of selling footballs and the default UM is a Case (which contains 12 footballs). Whenever we issue a PO we are ordering by the Case and we keep track of our inventory by the Case but we have also defined an Each as 1 football. If you sell each unit on its own then you are only selling 0.0833̅ of a Case at a time (i.e. 1/12). After all 12 footballs are sold there will be 0.004 units left in the Lot. Obviously it's impossible to sell a fraction of a football, so a Lot containing less than the smallest UM will be locked by the system.
