Lots assignment
Before a vinification can be released, every output product that requires lot tracking must have its full output quantity distributed across one or more lot numbers. The Lot Assignment window guides you through this.
When does it appear?
The Lot Assignment window opens automatically as part of the Release action when one or more output items require lot numbers. You assign the lots, confirm, and the release continues.
The Lot Assignment window
The window has two parts:
- An upper list of output items that need lot numbers.
- A lower Lot No. Lines part where you enter the lot numbers and quantities for the selected item.
Output items list
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Item No. | The output item requiring lot number assignment. |
| Item Description | Description of the output item. |
| Output Quantity | Total quantity to be produced that must be fully covered by lot assignments. |
| Qty. Assigned | Total quantity already distributed across lot numbers for this item. |
| Remaining Quantity | Quantity still to be assigned. It is highlighted while not zero. |
The Remaining Quantity must be zero for every item before you can confirm.
Lot No. Lines
For the currently selected output item, add one line per lot number:
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Lot No. | The lot number for this portion of the output. Use the assist-edit (…) button to generate one automatically (see below). |
| Qty. to Handle | The quantity assigned to this lot number. The sum of all lines must equal the Output Quantity. |
The totals at the bottom of the Lot No. Lines part show:
- Output Quantity — total to distribute.
- Quantity Handled — sum assigned so far.
- Remaining Quantity — still unassigned (must reach zero).
Generating a lot number automatically
- On a Lot No. line, choose the assist-edit (…) button in the Lot No. field.
- Confirm the prompt to generate a lot number from the item configuration.
- The system generates the lot number using:
- the item’s Lot No. Formula (EOS WINE formula), if defined; otherwise
- the item’s Lot Nos. number series.
- If the lot number does not yet exist, the corresponding Lot No. Information record is created automatically.
If neither a formula nor a number series is configured on the item, type the lot number manually.
Each lot number must be unique within the assignment — assigning the same lot twice is rejected.
Confirming
When the Remaining Quantity is zero for all output items, choose Confirm. The window closes and the release proceeds. If you cancel instead, the release is aborted and the document stays in Processing.
Output item lot numbers on the card
The output … Lot No. fields in the Items group of the Vinification card show the lot assigned to each single-lot output. For outputs split across several lots, the detailed distribution is managed through this Lot Assignment window during release.
