Lot Properties
You can use JustFood to apply lot properties to bins, quality audits and picks.
Bins
Users can apply properties to bins. When attempting to move an item to a bin, the property values associated with the item’s lot number and with the bin must match. If the property values do not match, the move will not be allowed.
Use the Bin Properties page to assign properties to a bin. Access the Bin Properties page from Locations page>Bins>Properties.
When moving containers, ALL of the property values for the items in the container must match the bin property values. The application will ignore any property codes that are not set up on both the bin and the item’s lot number.
The following pages give errors when attempting to move an item (or container) to a bin where the property values do not match:
- Container Worksheet page
- Item Journal page
- Item Reclass. Journal page
- Warehouse Put-away page

Quality Audits
The Quality Audit (QA) results can now change a lot-tracked item’s property value. If a quality measure code has the same property code as an item, when a quality audit is performed and posted, the property value is copied over to the item’s lot properties.
In order for an item’s lot property to be updated, the item’s lot must have the same property code as the quality measure code. You can assign the property code to the quality measure code from the Quality Measure Codes page.

Picks
If a customer has a specific item property value, when the picking routine suggests lots, only lots with that property value will be suggested. The item property value will also be checked when registering the pick.
If the customer has item properties but the item’s lot does not have any properties, or the item has properties but the customer does not, then the properties will be ignored. The customer’s item property code and the item’s lot property code must be the same in order for the property values to be compared.
