Use Cases / Context

• Assign a unique lot/serial number upon receipt
• Track the product through repairs, testing, and resale
• Print and attach labels for internal traceability

This module automates lot/serial assignment at RMA confirmation for tracked products, ensuring every returned item is properly identified before it enters your warehouse workflow.

Configuration

1. Go to RMA / Configuration / Operations
2. Open or create an RMA operation and:
   • Enable Auto-create Lot/Serial on Confirm
   • Select the Lot/Serial Name Sequence to use for generated lots

Optionally set Removal Days Before Expiration to automatically compute the lot’s Removal Date as Expiration minus N days. Requires a positive Lot Expiration (days).

Usage

1. Create an RMA for a tracked product (lot or serial) without specifying an existing lot
2. Assign an RMA Operation that has:
   • Auto-create Lot/Serial enabled
   • A Lot Sequence defined
3. Confirm the RMA
   • The system will generate a new stock lot using the defined sequence
   • The lot will be linked to the RMA

If configured, the lot will receive Expiration and Removal date (removal_date = expiration_date − N days).
