Overview |
|
|
Kit lot inventory is managed by LabVantage. Within the Kit Lot, the Kits and their inventory can be tracked individually for Complete or Bulk Supplies Kits, or together for Bulk Kit Item or Intermediate Kits. This is because Complete and Bulk Supplies Kits are potentially individually shipped to collection sites and such tracking allows the location and inventory of the Kits to be managed by LabVantage. Conversely, for Bulk Kit Item and Intermediate Kits it is only necessary to manage the inventory of the Kits and not their location.
