Lot tracking, expiry and kitting
Many 3PLs say they track lots. Fewer capture them at receiving, pick by expiry, and record the lot on every order and every kit. Here is how to tell the difference.
The cleanest lot data starts before the truck arrives. Ask whether they accept lot and expiry on the ASN, and what they do when a carton does not match.
You should be able to see how much of each lot sits in each location, and that view should match yours.
FEFO, FIFO, or a specific lot for a specific customer. Ask which rules they support and whether they can be set per SKU or per customer.
A held lot must stop shipping everywhere at once. Ask how a hold is placed, how fast it takes effect, and who can release it.
When a kit is built, the lots of the components inside should be recorded. Otherwise a component recall becomes a guessing game.
Shipments with lots, receipts with lots, adjustments with lots, through an API or a scheduled export. If you cannot get the data out, you cannot use it.

The 3PL records the lot number of every unit it receives, stores, picks and ships. Done well, you can ask which orders shipped lot 2410A and get an answer the same day.
Close. Kitting usually means grouping finished items into a set, like a gift box or bundle. Assembly can mean building a product from parts. Both should record which component lots went into each kit.
Your own system should hold the full history, from ingredient lots to production to shipment. The 3PL is the source of truth for what is physically on its shelves, so the two should sync.
If you serve brands that make their own products, request a free listing. No paid placement.
