The Lot Number inquiry screen is used to determine how a specific lot item came into and subsequently was issued from inventory. Searching can be done with just the inventory item number or lot number.
Note: Lots pre-date TRX Integrations dedication to the Food service dealer industry. This screen was developed for an organization that sold medical equipment, some of that equipment was radioactive and used in testing and calibration. The element isotopes would decay a known rate and you could not mix and match batches when calibrating machinery. Lots were developed so that items in the client's inventory could not be sold to anyone else and only used on specific machinery. To date we have not seen this correlate to Food service dealers.
