Stop hunting for where a batch ended up
Your supplier calls: there is a problem with a specific production batch, and you need to know where that material is now. The answer is somewhere in your records — on waybills, on dispatch notes, in somebody's notebook. The problem is not that the information is missing; it is that it is scattered.

When lot tracking is not part of the record
- A recall turns into manually combing through waybills and dispatch notes.
- Because nobody can be certain, the recall is drawn wider than it needs to be.
- Which batch the remaining stock came from can only be settled by physical inspection.
- When a customer asks "which batch?", the answer waits until tomorrow.
When the lot travels inside the operation
- The lot scanned at goods receipt stays attached to every movement of that material.
- Lot identity survives internal transfers and lot splits.
- Dispatch records which lot went out against which order.
- Search a lot or serial number and one page shows where the goods came from, which shelf they are on now, what happened to them and which customer received them.
- The recall view lists affected customers with net quantities; the list downloads as CSV or prints.
- If the lot was consumed in production, lots produced on the same production order and their customers are traced too.
In iyibir WMS, lot and serial numbers are not a separate ledger; they are carried inside goods receipt, transfer, and dispatch transactions. That means traceability does not require a parallel process — running the normal operation is what creates the trail. The trail is read from the documents in Logo Edge; no separate copy is kept. Lot and serial labels can be printed as GS1-128: item, lot, expiry date and serial come in with a single scan.
