How to: Handle Item Tracking Lines with the Get Lines Function

  • Article

When you use functionality to get posted receipt or shipment lines from related invoices or credit memos, then any item tracking lines on the warehouse documents are transferred automatically, however, they are processed in a special way. For more information about getting lines, see Get Receipt Lines.

The functionality supports the following inbound processes:

  • Get Receipt Lines - from a purchase invoice.

  • Get Return Shipment Lines - from a purchase credit memo.

The functionality supports the following outbound processes:

  • Get Shipment Lines - from a sales invoice or combined shipments.

  • Get Return Receipt Lines - from a sales credit memo.

In these situations, the existing item tracking lines are copied automatically to the invoice or credit memo, but the Item Tracking Lines window does not permit changes to the serial or lot numbers. Only the quantities can be changed.
