What is the functionality of Lot Tracking in an ERP system?

Lot tracking system records information regarding a batch of product. Lot tracking allows to track several units of a stock item using the same lot or batch number. User can determine what can be purchased or sold by Lot status. Expiry dates and user defined statuses allow you to further control the stock item. You cannot sell stock items that have reached or passed their expiry date.. You can track items by lot number and serial number - Lot tracked items are where the tracking (Lot) number refers to a specified quantity of the items, serial numbers are applied to individual items.

Lot Control and serialization options are defined at the system level and when one of these options is activated individual items are defined to be controlled by either lot number or serial number or by item number (not lot or serial tracked) on the part master file. When a part is defined as being tracked by lot number or serial number, that tracking is enforced throughout all material transactions for that item and upward through its parent items.

For purchased items lot or serial numbers are required for the full quantity of receipt, and are entered as part of the receiving transaction. For receipts with many serial number tracked items, ranges of numbers may be entered. A running total of items accounted for with lot or serial number assignments are displayed, thereby ensuring that the entire received quantity is properly identified prior to completion of the transaction.

Furthermore, the system checks current inventory to ensure that duplicate numbers are not assigned. On subsequent inventory transactions, lot and serial traceability is enforced upward through the item's bill of material structure. The lot or serial number and quantity are required on all material issues.

But without any hesitation we can assure our customers that eresource ERP is a genuine manufacturing ERP system with a 'real' real-time inventory module.

In a process manufacturing organization receiving raw material "just-in-time' is an important factor. Profit of the product also depends on being able to sell them immediately with certainty as to the cost of what has been produced, based on the cost of materials consumed and the added-value of the manufacturing process.

Managing costs is a critical requirement of ERP implementations, and delaying cost adjustments disables that needed benefit. Eresource ERP provides its customers with a efficient way of managing the costs through its system.

In today's business environment, Real-Time Inventory has been termed as a very important requirement.

The working method for inventory also differs depends on varies manufacturing industries. For example the discrete manufacturer making large runs to stock has ample time to record all costs after the production run completes, and before delivery where as the process manufacturer like Food and Beverage industry is usually making to order for same day delivery.

When all valuation methods are maintained for all items, it is possible to change the valuation method for any item if required, and eresource will automatically calculate and post the adjusting journal to the Inventory Control Account in the General Ledger. If the Standard Cost is changed, eresource will post that valuation change also to the General Ledger.
