What Is a Product Lot?
A Product Lot in SellStack 365 Cannabis represents a specific tracked quantity of inventory tied to a particular Item in Business Central 365 Cannabis. Lots carry attribute data such as expiry date, packaging date, THC/CBD content, or other regulatory identifiers.
When Are Lots Visible?
By default, Product Lots are not visible to storefront customers. Lot visibility is controlled per product and must be explicitly enabled in the Admin Panel.
When enabled, customers will see:
- A Lot selection dropdown (or similar selector)
- One or more visible Lots, each showing their attributes
- Any Lot-specific pricing (if configured)
Typical Visible Attributes
Administrators can configure which Lot attributes are displayed to end-users. These often include:
- Packaging or harvest date
- Expiry or best-before date
- Lot Number (external identifier)
- THC/CBD potency
- Sell-by or regulatory tags
Where Do These Attributes Come From?
Attributes shown in SellStack are pulled directly from the Product Lot data in Business Central 365 Cannabis. This means any errors or omissions in ERP data will affect storefront visibility.
How to Enable Lot Visibility
- Navigate to the Product in the Admin Panel
- Go to the Lots tab
- Enable visibility for each Lot (if supported)
- Confirm attribute mapping is active and consistent
What If Customers Shouldn’t See Lots?
If Lots should not be selectable, leave Lot visibility disabled. In this configuration, SellStack automatically allocates the most appropriate available Lot at the time of Add to Cart, using the product’s defined Automated FIFO/FEFO logic. This ensures correct lot-level pricing, availability, and compliance even before checkout is reached.
Admin View
Even when customer-facing Lot visibility is turned off, administrators can still view full Lot details (including inactive or expired Lots) via the Admin Panel for every product.
