The end user uses inventory lot valuation. The purpose of using lot valuation is to be able to trace inventory sold back to the vendor purchase order and to notify all other customers that they may have sold inventory from the same lot to.
The end user buys 100 of item ABC from vendor XYZ, and 200 of item ABC from vendor UVW and both purchases coincidentally have the same lot number 1234567. It seems that Sage 100 combines the lot quantities together, so item ABC has 300 of lot 1234567 in inventory. If they subsequently sell 50 of item ABC, lot 1234567, and 20 people that bought item ABC, lot 1234567 get poisoned, how would one determine which vendor the product was purchased from?
