-
-Inventory of a product tracked by lot can be done in 2 ways:
-
--  Classic inventory by products
-
--  Inventory of a lot
-
-When doing a classic inventory, there is a **Serial Number** column. If the
-product has already been assigned with a number, it is already
-pre-filled.
-
-Click on **Add an item** if the product has not been inventoried yet. You
-can easily create lots, just type in a new lot number in the column.

+Operation Types
+---------------
+
+Of course, you also have the possibility to define how you will manage
+lots for each operation type. To do so, open the *Inventory* app and
+go to *Configuration > Operation Types*.
+
+For each type (receipts, internal transfers, deliveries, …), you can
+decide if you allow to create new lot numbers or only use existing ones.
+By default, the creation of new lots is only allowed at product
+reception, and using existing lot numbers isn’t allowed in this
+operation. If you have inter-warehouse transfers and track products by
+lots, it can be useful to allow using existing lot numbers in receipts
+too.
