Late Assignment

Form ID: (AM312000)

You use this form for assigning (or allocating) the lot or serial numbers of the produced item to its materials after the materials have been issued for a production order. If On Completion is selected in the Require Parent Lot/Serial Number box for the production order on the Production Order Maintenance (AM201500) form, you must assign the lot or serial number of the produced item to each lot- or serial-tracked material before you move the produced items in stock through the release of the appropriate transaction on the last operation. Otherwise, the system will display an error message, and the transaction will not be released. You record the movement of produced items by using a move transaction on the Move (AM302000) form or a labor transaction with a positive produced quantity on the Labor (AM301000) form.
