Lot Splitting

If – for partial quantities of lots – data changes are done (such as changes of status, expiration date, entry date and so on), a new number is automatically assigned for the partial quantity.

The number assignment for data records containing lot- and serial numbers happens according to the logic in the following table.

Lot No.	Serial No.	Number Assignment
✗		New lot number (from the lot number series) for the split quantity.
✗	✗	No split possible because serial numbers cannot be split.
	✗	No split possible because serial numbers cannot be split.

Partial Lot Splits

If a portion of a lot needs to be split and assigned to a new lot, you can enter a quantity lower than the Lot Inventory in the Quantity field and then enter a new lot number in the New Lot No. field.

Lot Split on Sales Return

With the Lot Split function on a Sales Return Order, the returned quantity can be related to a separate sub-lot to track the returned quantity from a part of the original lot that is still in stock.

To activate the function for all lot tracking codes, turn on the Automatic Lot Split on Return toggle in the Quality Assurance Setup page. To activate the function for specific item tracking codes, turn on the Automatic Lot Split on Return toggle on the Misc. FastTab in the Item Tracking Code Card page.

Note

The setting in the Item Tracking Code Card overrules the setting in the Quality Assurance Setup page.

If, for example, a sales order was shipped to a customer for 200 units of an item. The customer returns 100 units of the product due to damages in shipping. In the Sales Return Order, the lot is split automatically by the addition of "-1" to the lot number.
