When implementing lot control, be aware of the following restrictions:
• Lot control cannot enforce lot uniqueness across multiple databases. Multiple-database customers should integrate policies to maintain lot number uniqueness for each database.
• Lot numbers cannot be reused. If you make an error during lot number assignment, delete the record for that lot number in Lot Master Maintenance (1.22.1), and then reassign it.
• The system cannot correct duplicate lot numbers assigned prior to lot control activation. Delete duplicate lot numbers using Lot Master Delete/Archive (1.22.23).
