Change Global Lot Attribute values on the Warehouse Receipt

The global lot attributes are inherited from the purchase order lines to the warehouse receipt lines when creating warehouse receipts directly from the purchase order.

It is only possible to change global lot attribute values when they are left blank on the corresponding purchase order line. Therefore, if the actual lot attribute values differ from the warehouse receipt line, you should use the Split Purchase Line function to create a new line with the correct lot attribute values.

Note

The associated lot numbers are updated with the modified values.
