MAT: Allow Transfers Between Different Lot Numbers

The Allow Transfers Between Different Lot Numbers feature allows users to consolidate remaining pump medication into any bottle of the same medication, even when the bottles have different lot numbers. It also supports returning pre-poured units to an open bottle.

Important: This feature must be enabled in MAT Inventory Settings before it can be used. If Unit Inventory is in use, returned units will be returned to the user’s open bottle when available.
