About Basic Lot Number Tracking

Despite the name, there is nothing basic about Basic Lot Number Tracking. It can be used very simply to track lots, while being robust enough to meet most practices' lot tracking needs for Lynx.

Flexibility
  • Decide item-by-item whether to turn on lot number tracking (recommended for most Lynx sites).

  • Enable lot number tracking for all items Lynx recognizes as a drug (generally used by specialties with few inventory items).

Prerequisites for Basic Lot Tracking

Enable Lot # Tracking for Item
  • In order to capture the lot number of an item dispensed for a patient, the item must first have Track Lot # enabled.

Set User Permissions
  • To enable Track Lot # for items, a user must have the Track Lot # Flag permission set to Update.

  • To update lot information for an item via Manage Lots on the INVENTORY menu, a user must have the Manage Lots permission set to Update.
