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 were produced together, in case there are quality or recall issues down the road.

opentaps allows you to create lots and associate them with your inventory 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.
