Finished Good Lot Number = Component Lot Number

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some help with lot numbering relating to the production process. Our client makes products using an injection mold.

The lot number for molded parts is the date they were pressed

The molded parts are further processed (at a later date) into a finished good for sale. However, the customer requires the pressed date from the mold remain as the lot number for the finished good. Is there a way for the shop order that creates the finished good to ‘inherit’ the lot number from the component? 

The FG product structure is quite simple with the molded part as the only component. 

Thank you
