Lot Attribute Orders
A lot attribute order is a document of record for an item lot or sublot and its attribute values. Lot attribute orders provide the capability to verify and maintain values for attribute values for an item lot and sublot.
If attribute values are not entered during receipt transactions, the system automatically creates lot attribute orders after processing purchasing and production receipts.
Note: If the item being received has an associated test specification, a quality order is created instead of a lot attribute order. See Quality Control for Inventory.
You can manually create a lot attribute order for existing item lots and item lots that were received using other kinds of inventory transactions, such as Distributed Order Receipt (12.15.20, dsdorc.p). See Manually Creating Lot Attribute Orders.
