An item class may be both produced and consumed.

Obsolete

Inventory Handling: Inventory is unique by job

Specifies whether the inventory assigned to a job can be used only with that job. This check box is not available if the inventory is not licensed.

If inventory is being transferred to another storage entity and the following conditions are true:

• The destination item is configured to identify the inventory quantities uniquely by job

• The inventory is being moved to a downstream job

• The work order’s Override Serialization option is not selected

  Then the inventory information of the job that produced the serial number will be updated to match those of any job immediately preceding the first job identified by the work order and operation that produces the item being transferred. If there are no such upstream jobs, then the inventory information for the job that produced the serial number are left unchanged.

Inventory Handling: Serial Number Level

A serial number level for the item class. Select Lot Number if you want the serial number to be the same as lot number.

Inventory Handling: Lot number format and Sublot number format

The format of the lot number and sub-lot number for the items in the item class.

For example, Lot-AB# is displayed as Lot-AB1, Lot-AB2, and so on.
