RE: Finished good item produced as Lot Controlled, sold as non Lot item ?

There must be significant reasons to lot control the product for the
majority of your customers (product recalls, regulation, product
traceability, product expiration, QA testing, etc.) Are those factors
insignificant for the consignment customer? If not it may be worth
considering ways to make it easier to capture the lot number for the
consignment customer. Do they scan bar-codes? Could they also do it for your
product? Is it time to implement a data capture solution?

If lot control for the consignment customer provides no value then you could
consider a re-designate transaction but that forces you to re-designate to a
new item for all warehouse/locations where the lot resides. Hopefully the
item resides in a consignment warehouse. You would need to get the product
into the consignment warehouse with a "dummy" lot number. Traceability is
maintained but do you wish to change to a new item?

The mod suggested earlier is a good option if you have the available skills.

If you would consider a new item number (with a suffix possibly indicating
consignment) then you could even look at a dummy bill of material that
converts the item to a consignment item. You could do an issue and receipt
transaction against an always open shop order for consignments.

?

Hello Dear all, 

We are using BPCS V 8.1 Mixed Mode, on aS400. 

We are facing with one scenario and looking for the
solution. 

Scenario:
We Produce Finshed good item , which is defined as a
lot controled item. For regular cusomter we are
shipping and selling it lot wise. But same item we are
giving it to some customer as consignment stock. On
each month End, our customer raises PO for the total
qty they have utilized from our stock. 
We dont know from which lot they have consumed. 

How we want to handle:
We want to have this item produced lot wise, but
shipped and sold non lot wise for few customers and
lot wise for few customers. 

May be concept of redesignation will work ??
Any ideas ??
regards
