If you have serial or lot tracking enabled in your MISys database, you may notice that there are discrepancies between your master stock quantity and your total lot stock quantity; or that history of lot tracking has a few gaps. A critical area to review when using serial and lot tracking is the Assign Serial Lot Numbers section of stock control.
Shown below, you will notice that a dispense stock transaction has yet to be assigned for the Platinum Coating item. Items listed here have been processed but the serial lot tracking information has not been completed; and thus, has entered, what we like to call ‘never never land’ – it’s stuck in limbo.
To correct this, users can select the transaction and complete the assignment.
Completing these assignments will ensure that Lots/Serial Stock information correctly aligns with Location Stock information; it also ensures that your transactions have the necessary traceability that you would expect with serial/lot tracking.
