Lot and Serial Number Capture
Record lots, sublots and serials on each transaction
Receipts and shipments record which lots, sublots and serial numbers moved on each line. Shippers pick the lots to send from current available quantities instead of guessing.
What it does
- Choose which lots, or which lots and sublots, ship on each line from a view of available quantity
- Generate sublots automatically on a line instead of keying each one
- Add, edit and remove serial numbers for each line of a receipt or shipment
- Fill shipment lines from available lots automatically, using the pick method set on the profile
Where it fits

Standard reports show what you hold, where it sits and what moved.
Invoice every client from the charges captured
Invoices for every client on a billing cycle are generated from the charges captured and previewed before you commit them.
