Lot numbers

Estimated reading: 2 minutes 302 views

Odoo Inventory lot numbers group a batch of products that share common properties, such as a production run or supplier, giving traceability for recalls, compliance and expiration tracking without tracking every unit individually.

Before you start

  1. Go to Inventory app > Configuration > Settings, and under Traceability tick Lots & Serial Numbers, then Save.

How to track a product by lots

  1. On the product’s General Information tab, tick Track Inventory and choose By Lots.

If the product already has stock on hand, Odoo warns that an inventory adjustment is needed to assign lot numbers to that existing stock.

How to assign lots on a receipt

  1. Confirm a purchase order for a lot-tracked product and open its Receipt.
  2. In the Open: Stock Move pop-up, click Add a line and enter the Lot/Serial Number and Quantity, plus an optional Storage Location or Destination Package.
  1. Click Save, then Validate the receipt. A lot number must be assigned before the receipt can be validated.

Assigning lots on delivery

On the delivery order, select the lot number to ship from the existing quantities available for that product.
