Lot Level Inventory Tracking

Certain industries, such as foods, chemicals, and biotech/pharmaceuticals track their products with lot numbers. For example, look under a bottle of milk or orange juice, and you will see a label which says "Lot". The lot number allows the manufacturer to track a batch of the product which was produced in a manufacturing run or at a particular time, in case there are quality or recall issues down the road.

opentaps enables you to create or use lot numbers and associate them with your inventory items when the inventory is received or manufactured. It will then track the inventory through sales and shipping and allow you to search for sales orders and shipments by lot number.

Using Lot Level tracking involves the following screens which are discussed:
