If you work with lots and you don't know the lot itself until you receive the goods, we recommend using purchase orders to quickly create the different lots once you receive the shipment. Find out how to manage your stock using purchase orders for products with serial numbers or lots in this article.

By archiving lots, you get to omit lots that have already been sold to quickly find and add only available ones to your orders. Besides, this allows you to show your customers specifically those products with lots in use from your Holded Catalog.

1. Select the product on which you want to archive lots
2. Click on Manage lots
3. In the pop-up window, use the toggle in the Status column to archive one or more lots

If you need to view the archived lots again, simply click on the Show archived option at the bottom of the pop-up window.
