Lottable Validation
About Lottable Validation
To run efficiently, warehouse operations must start with an organized receiving process. Upon receiving, the SKUs/items are collected and stored basis certain criteria/parameters like pricing, manufacturing date, expiry date etc. that helps later in inventory movement. This grouping/batch creation is called lot(s) creation. The process defined to validate the lots is called lottable validation. As per the requirements, user can predefine the lottable labels that can be set in the Vin eRetail system under Lottlable validations. FIFO (first in first out), LIFO (last in first out), FEFO (First expiry first out) are all examples of lottable validations in a warehouse.
