Selecting Lot or Serial Numbers on Orders

Products on a sales order that are Lot Numbered, Serial Numbered, or Number when Invoiced will require the inventory control number be selected or entered prior to invoicing.

Generally, you would record the lot or serial numbers after the pick has been completed, but they can be selected prior to the picking process. When picking from a Pick Ticket, the assigning of lots prior to or after the picking process is inconsequential.

However, if you are using Picklist and assign the Lot or Serial number prior to creating the Picklists then Acctivate will create a Picking route that will take you to that Lot Number. With Acctivate Mobile, it’s expected that you will pick the lot or serial numbers with the Mobile Device. If you assign lots or serial numbers prior to the Picking with mobile, then you are not able to reaffirm with the device that you have picked the lot or serial number.
