FAQs
What's the difference between a lot number and a serial number?
- Lot Number: Identifies a batch or specific group of products produced under the same conditions.
- Serial Number: Identifies an individual item uniquely.
Both are used for tracking purposes but serve different levels of granularity.
How does lot tracking with Zenventory help in case of a product recall?
Lot tracking with Zenventory allows businesses to quickly identify which batches of a product are affected by a recall with our batch usage reports and trace item reporting capabilities. This facilitates a faster and more efficient process of removing defective products from the market and minimizing the impact on both the business and the consumers.
How does Zenventory's auto allocation work for products with lot numbers?
If a product has been configured for tracking lot numbers, Zenventory will automatically select the specific lot to allocate to each order by following the predefined rules set up earlier. It will then display the selected lot number on the pick list. This is true whether using a printed paper pick list or our companion app.
