I am working with a customer that is creating items via the configurator.  They would like to inherit the lot/batch number of a component (manufactured or raw material) to the configured item as the lot/batch number of the configured item.

Yes, there is a neat lot/batch origin feature on a normal product structure component item but that same feature has not been developed on the configuration structure component item.

Has anyone encountered the issue before and if so, how did you resolve it?  Do you think this might be good suggestion for R&D?  Oh, this neat little flag also does NOT exist on the Interim Order component lines either.

The lot/batch origin flag DOES appear on the shop order component lines.  Hence I think we may not have followed that concept through far enough.

Thanks!
