Holding Inventory Lots
Holding Inventory Lots Summary:
Holding inventory lots allows you to prevent inventory from held lots from being added to sales pickups or contract production shipment orders.
Internal movements can still take place on held lots (transfers, lot processing, adjustments, etc..)
Held lots must be released before inventory from them can be added to pickups or shipment orders again.
Splitting and convert to commercial actions are not allowed on held inventory lots.
If a third party inventory lot is on hold and a lot processing record is open for it, customer pickup scale tickets and customer pickup screenings scale tickets are not allowed.
To access the INVENTORY LOT DETAILS screen: Go to the INVENTORY menu → INVENTORY LOTS screen → Click VIEW LOT DETAILS on the lot you want to use
