How to Edit a Lot and Manage Lot Locking Across Locations

Overview

Use this feature to edit lot details and manage lot locking or unlocking across linked locations from the primary account. A locked lot cannot be used for inventory assignment at the locked location.

When to Use

Use this feature when you need to:
  • Update manufacturing date, expiry date, MRP, or Days to Expiry, if enabled in lot configuration.
  • Lock or unlock a lot at specific locations.
  • View and manage lot lock status across child locations from the primary location.

Workflow

Search for a lot

  1. Open the Lot from Inventory > Lot Locking & Edit

  2. Scan or search for the required lot.

The screen displays lot details, including Batch Code, SKU, manufacturing date, expiry date, MRP, item quantity, and batch status.

View and manage locked locations

This option is available only on the primary account.

  1. Click the Locked Locations count.

  2. Review the lot details, Total lot locations, and Lot locked locations.

  3. To unlock locations, open the locked locations popup, select the applicable locked locations, and click Unlock locations.

  4. To lock more locations, open the locked locations popup, select the applicable unlocked locations, and click Lock more locations.

Notes
The action buttons stay disabled until at least one valid location is selected.

Lot locking across locations

Use this feature to control the lock status of a lot across locations from the primary account.

When a lock action is applied, select the primary location or All locations, as required and click Update to apply the change.

Edit a lot

  1. Click Edit for the required lot to edit lot details.
  2. Update the manufacturing date, expiry date, or MRP.
  3. Click Update.

Notes
Days to Expiry can be viewed and edited only if it is enabled in lot configuration.

Important Points

  • The Locked Locations column is displayed only on the primary account.
  • After a lock or unlock request, the system displays: “Lot update job queued successfully.”
  • If the lot is already being processed, the system displays: “Operation is prohibited, lot is already being processed.”
  • For an Assigned order, locking the lot unassigns the inventory and moves the order to Pending.
  • For a Confirmed, Printed, or Ready to Dispatch order, locking the lot moves the reserved or picked quantity to questionable quantity and moves the order to Hold Orders. Lot locking affects inventory assignment and order status depending on the order stage.
