Creating a Custom Lot Record -- Any Issues?
With all due respect, the Lot Number record is, IMO, poorly conceived and poorly implemented. It has major limitations, and the U/I is very clunky and not at all intuitive.
The biggest deal-breaker is that Lot Number Items do NOT support UOM, which is a major, mandatory requirement for most any manufacturing, and many distribution, operations.
So, we are considering designing a custom Lot Record. The Lot Record will need to be attached to:
[LIST=1]
[*]Inventory Items
[*]Assembly Items
[*]PO Receipts
[*]SO Fulfillments
[*]Inventory Transfers[/LIST]Has anyone done this?
Do you see any major gotchas?
