Item Lot Type — entity reference

An item lot type is a commercial grade of one item, such as saleable, sample or promotional stock, that document lines and rules can tell apart without a second item. Order, quote, invoice, purchase and inventory lines carry it; price list, tax group, scheme and item group rules can target it (a blank lot type on a rule matches every line; discount group rules store it but ignore it); goods receipts copy it onto the lots they create; and for lot-tracked items, invoicing and fulfilment allocation pick only lots of the line's lot type. It is not a lot and not a lot-tracking setting, and stock balances are not split by it. It has no numbering, status or actions beyond New, Edit and Delete.

Fields

FieldLabelTypeRequiredWhat it does
CreatedByIdCreated ByLookup → UserAccountYes
CreatedDateTimeCreated DateDateAndTimeYes
ExternalItemCodeExternal Item CodeTextThe product code another system uses for this grade (up to 20 characters), for reconciliation and integrations. No internal process reads it.
IdIdGuidYes
IsPromoPromoBooleanLabels the grade as promotional stock. Off by default. No process reads it; price list, tax group and scheme rules that name the lot type are what change its treatment.
IsSaleableSaleableBooleanLabels the grade as ordinary sellable stock. Off by default. No process reads it: it does not allow or block selling, pricing or lot selection.
IsSampleSampleBooleanLabels the grade as sample or demonstration stock. Off by default. No process reads it; to price sample stock differently, add a price list rule for this lot type.
ItemIdItemLookup → ItemThe item this lot type belongs to. Optional, but order, invoice, delivery order and opportunity lines only offer lot types whose item is the line's item, so a lot type without an item is missing from those pickers. The same grade under two items is two records.
LotTypeCodeCodeTextShort internal code for the lot type, shown as Lot Type Code in the list and record header. Useful in imports and integrations; no process matches on it.
ModifiedByIdModified ByLookup → UserAccountYes

NameNameTextThe name shown in lot type pickers on document lines. Up to 100 characters.
