Re: multiple item codes same item

Hi Jeff,

We also use the batch/lot here for both purchased items as well as manufactured items.
It works very well for our purposes and sounds like it will help you as well.

We keep track of the lot for purchased finishing (stain) and on manufactured items using the batch/lot for the different lengths and set of knives for how many times sharpened. 

It very versatile.  

Make sure to turn on the batch/lot control flag on the item so your transactions post correctly.

Jerry
