Automatic Lot Number Assignments
Eliminate Manual Lot Tracking Across Production & Assembly

Stop manually assigning lot numbers on every journal line. The app intelligently suggests lot numbers for output, consumption, and assembly orders — using FEFO (First Expiry, First Out) logic for consumption and the item's number series for output.

  • Output Lot Numbers: Automatically assigns a new lot number from the item's Lot No. Series — or falls back to the Production Order number
  • Consumption Lot Numbers: Suggests the oldest available lot (FEFO) for each consumption line, ensuring proper stock rotation
  • Assembly Order Lot Numbers: Automatically allocates lot numbers to assembly component lines when orders are created from sales or manually
  • Centralised Configuration: Enable or disable each feature independently from the Manufacturing Setup page

automatic expiration date calculation
Automatic Expiration Date Calculation
Never Miss an Expiry Date on Manufactured Output

For businesses dealing with perishable or time-sensitive goods, the app automatically calculates the expiration date on output postings based on the item's Expiration Calculation formula and the posting date — so your shelf-life data is always accurate.

  • Auto-Calculated Expiry: The expiration date is computed from the item's Expiration Calculation and the posting date
  • Consistent Lot Data: Every output item ledger entry carries the correct expiration date without manual intervention
  • Configurable Toggle: Enable or disable this feature from Manufacturing Setup to suit your workflow
  • FEFO Compliance: Supports First Expiry, First Out picking and consumption strategies downstream
Update Routings & Components
Refresh Individual Lines Without Resetting the Entire Order

Need to update the BOM or routing on a single production order line? The standard "Refresh Production Order" function resets the entire order. This app adds a targeted action on Released Prod. Order Lines that updates routings and components for just the selected line.

  • Line-Level Refresh: Update routings and components on a single released production order line
  • BOM Version Awareness: Automatically picks the correct BOM and routing version based on the order's starting date
  • Phantom BOM Support: Correctly explodes phantom BOMs up to 50 levels deep
  • Preserve Other Lines: Other production order lines remain untouched, protecting existing scheduling and tracking

lot number visibility on production journal
Lot No. Visibility on Production Journal
See and Edit Lot Numbers Directly on Journal Lines

No more opening Item Tracking Lines just to see which lot is assigned. The app surfaces the Lot No. directly on the Production Journal, and allows consumption lot numbers to be changed inline — keeping your workflow fast and uninterrupted.

  • Inline Lot Display: The Lot No. column appears directly on the Production Journal page
  • Editable Consumption Lots: Change the suggested consumption lot number without opening the Item Tracking Lines page
  • Output Lot Protection: Output lot numbers are locked to prevent accidental changes after assignment
  • Automatic Quantity Sync: Changing the quantity on a journal line automatically updates the corresponding reservation entry
Item Label Printing
Print Professional Labels from Production Orders & Purchase Receipts

Generate item labels with lot numbers, expiry dates, and item details directly from your production orders and purchase receipts. No more switching to third-party tools or manually creating labels — everything you need is built right in.

  • Print from Production Orders: Generate labels from both Released and Finished Production Orders with a single click
  • Print from Purchase Receipts: Print lot-level labels for received goods directly from Posted Purchase Receipts
  • Rich Label Data: Labels include item number, description, lot number, expiry date, unit of measure, item references, and custom extension fields
  • Multiple Copies: Configure the number of label copies per production order for batch labelling

Lot-Level Physical Inventory Counting Made Easy

The standard "Calculate Inventory" function groups everything by item. This app adds a "Calculate Inventory by Lot" action to the Physical Inventory Journal that breaks down quantities per lot number — essential for businesses that need lot-level accuracy during stock counts.

  • Lot-Level Breakdown: Inventory is calculated and populated per lot number, giving you granular counting lines
  • Lot No. on Journal Lines: The Lot No. field is surfaced directly on the Physical Inventory Journal for full visibility
  • Automatic Item Tracking: Positive and negative adjustments from physical counts automatically create the correct reservation entries
  • Inventory Setup Integration: Enable lot number support on the Physical Inventory Journal from the Inventory Setup page
