Adding Lot Numbering on existing items

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 145

Hello, 

Is there any way to Add Lot Numbers to existing Items,
You cannot change Item Tracking Code because there are one or more ledger entries for this item.

Is there a work around to add Lot Tracking on Items? 

Regards

Peter

    No, you would basically have to create a new item.

    It is important to chose the correct costing method from the beginning.

    Hi, I agree with Inge. I think the simple way is to negatively adjust your existing item in Item Journals, and then positive adjust the new item. At this time, add Item Tracking Lines for the new item.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    HI Ing/Zhu,

    Thank you for getting back to me, i noticed a post by Lewis Rosenberg in 2016, checking to see if this is a possible work around.
