How can we subtract Stock from our inventory using Batches?

We have several ways to deduct stock, all of which are configurable in COMPANY → DEFAULT CONFIGURATION ← DEFAULT VALUES ← BATCH DESTOCKING METHOD.

By default, it is configured as “No lot assignment,” which, as its name indicates, does not assign any lot even when working with a Lot-type Item. The assignment will be manual. If we explore more options, we can see that we can also use the methods:

• Prompt for Lot when selling an item
• Assign lot automatically by FIFO (First In, First Out)
• Assign lot automatically by LIFO (Last In, First Out)

Additionally, there are certain parameterizations regarding batches at the end of the Default Values → Options screen.

Allow creating batch number / serial number from sales:

This option allows you to create a lot number / serial number from a sale, without having to previously enter the lot number or serial number during the purchase.

Hide message unspecified batch number:

When you generate a document where an Item "uses lot", before closing the document, a pop-up will appear indicating that not all lots have been specified, as a Warning / Reminder. If this option is deactivated, the pop-up will be displayed; if it is activated, the pop-up will no longer be displayed. It does not prevent you from proceeding and closing the document.

Allow creating batch number / serial number from Manufacturing:

If Hioffice's proposed automatic batch generation is not used, with this option we can create any batch number or serial number we want for our manufacturing.
