With use IFS 25R2. We are struggling to understand how and when the LotBatchMaster table gets populated, and we are facing situations where we expect records to exist but find nothing.
Situation 1 — Customer Order delivery : We manually reserved specific lot numbers against a customer order line, and the delivery was completed successfully. We can see the inventory transactions in the transaction history. However, when we open the Part Lot Batch page and filter by article or by lotNo., no record appears for these lots. We would expect to see entries with Order Type = Customer Order.
Situation 2 — Return Material Authorization : We processed a customer return (RMA). During the receipt of the returned goods, we specified the lot numbers of the items being returned (in order to have the same lot No of the Costumer Order line). The receipt was completed successfully. Again, when we open Part Lot Batch, no record appears for these returned lots. We would expect entries with Order Type = Return Material Authorization.
But when we enter other value (ex. LOT001) when performing the part receipt, we can find the record in the Part Lot Batch with Order Type = Return Material Authorization.
(These situations are only examples)
My question : What exactly triggers the creation of a record in LotBatchMaster? Is there a configuration we are missing, or would this require a custom development to explicitly create/update LotBatchMaster records based on the lot number at each relevant transaction event (delivery, return receipt, manual receipt)? Any guidance or documentation pointer would be very helpful.
*We will have a custom development that relies on the Part Lot Batch (LotBatchMaster) page. Our logic is built around lot numbers, and quality status directly on each lot record. The lot number is the key identifier for our entire development.
