To distribute transaction quantities to lots or a range of serial numbers

3. If the Lot/Serial Number Distribution window does not open, click the Lot/Serial Distribution button.

4. In the Lot Number/Serial Number field, enter the lot or serial numbers for this distribution. For more information, see Lot/Serial Number Distribution - Fields.

   Note If items or the lots they're assigned to are expired, or if they fall outside of the sell-by, use-by, or return by dates (whichever is applicable), you cannot select those items unless you have the appropriate security setup. For more information, see Expiration Dates for Lot and Serial Items.
