Hi,
 
My team forgot to set up the item tracking code before all the warehouse activities in BC. They posted the item purchase receipt. When consumption team need to do adjustment in the system they failed because the item received without a lot number. I tried to reverse the posted purchase receipt line. One was reversed. The other once cannot be reversed because it was invoiced. What shall I do now to close all the open entries to enable user change the item tracking code under item card?
 
How to prevent user forget setting the item tracking code moving forward?
 
Thanks!

    Hello,
     
    You can resolve the current issue by posting a negative adjustment for the quantity received without lot numbers and then a positive adjustment with the correct lot numbers, or use the Item Reclassification Journal to assign lot numbers to existing stock; once all old entries are adjusted out, you can change the item tracking code on the Item Card.
     
    To prevent this in the future, make item tracking mandatory on the Item Card, use item templates with predefined tracking codes, enable posting restrictions, and consider workflows or alerts to ensure users cannot post receipts without lot or serial numbers.

    Hello,
     
    You can’t reverse an invoiced purchase receipt. Instead:
     
    Post negative and positive item journal adjustments to correct stock and add the right lot/serial numbers.
     
    Set the Item Tracking Code on the Item Card to make tracking mandatory before posting.
     
     This fixes current entries and prevents users from missing tracking setup next time.
