Repackaging

Lot inventory not found for lot: 5, variant type: Can - 350ml

Scenario

You have a batch of beer (Aussie IPA batch 4), you have packaged 6 bottles on 2021/04/01.
You want to repackage 6x single cans (AIPA-C301) into a 6-pack (APIA-C306).

Lot inventory not found error

Understanding the issue

When repackackaging, BrewKeeper destroys and creates inventory. eg.

Destroys Creates
6x AIPA-C301 1x AIPA-C306

When a bottle is filled, it is given a lot inventory, which includes 2 things

  • The variant type (single can)
  • The packaging date

eg. C301 2021/04/01

When Repackaging, there is currently a rule that states

The lot being created must be equal to the lot being destroyed

Therefore, if you don't have the correct lot inventory, you will receive an error

eg. C306 2021/04/01

Fixing the issue

You need to create a lot inventory for the output you are trying to repackage to

Production > Lots > New +

  • Batch: Aussie IPA batch 4
  • Packaging Date: 2021/04/01
  • Variant Type: C306 Can - 350ml 6 Pack

This will:

  • Create a new lot inventory for C306 2021/04/01 allowing you to repackage into it.
