Store / LocationReview lot activity by warehouse, branch, or stock location.
Transaction TypeReview only the type of lot movement you want to investigate.
PartnerWhere supported, review lot transactions linked to a supplier or customer.

Suggested Workflow

  1. Use Product Lots List to confirm the lot exists and identify it correctly.
  2. Use Product Lot Aging when the question is about expiry, stock age, or rotation.
  3. Use Product Lot Transactions when you need full traceability for one lot.
  4. Apply store, item, or transaction-type filters to narrow the result to the exact business question.

Best Practice

  • Use lot-aging reports regularly for products with expiry control.
  • Use transaction history when customers, auditors, or quality teams need traceability.
  • Keep lot assignment accurate during receiving, sales, and stock movement, or lot reports will lose value.
Important: Lot reports depend on users selecting the correct lot during stock movement. Missing or incorrect lot assignment will reduce traceability.
