Partial Lot 

Definition

A partial quantity of a material or product to be produced or manufactured.

Use

You can use partial lots to manage goods or materials with different quality characteristics. If you confirm that the goods being produced for a production order are not consistent in quality, you can separate the materials according to their quality characteristics and maintain these quantities in separate partial lots. In this way, you can divide the total quantity of a production order into several smaller partial lot quantities.

Partial lots are typically used in production processes to manage batch materials (either in the form of raw materials or finished products).

Integration

A partial lot can contain the produced quantities of materials that are similar in quality and that were inspected in several inspection points. If the finished product is managed in batches, you can assign the partial lots to individual batches. You can assign several partial lots to a single batch.
