Item Tracking FastTab

The fields on the Item Tracking FastTab are described in the following table.

Field	Description
Retest Calculation	Formula of the Retest Date; based on work date unless Expiration Date is entered then calculated from the expiration date.

Skip Component Release Check	If the Prod. Rel. Comp. Check toggle is turned on in the Lot/Serial No. Status page, then during output posting, the system will check if item-tracked components are released completely. For some items, it may not be necessary to verify all item-tracking lines. To skip the verification for this item, turn on the Skip Component Release Check toggle.
Keep Original Lot No.	Determines if the creation of a new lot number is prevented when using the "Automatic Lot No. Creation" function. - If the toggle is turned on, then the same lot number from previous output is used when no item tracking is entered. - If the toggle is turned off, then a new lot number is created from the lot number No. Series assigned to the item.
