# Lot tracing

You can see where a lot-tracked item was used, including how it and related items entered and exited inventory.

This feature is particularly useful in Quality Control when you need to find out which customers received products with a particular lot number, or which vendor a defective material came from.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Lot Tracing**, and then choose the related link.
2. On the **Trace Lot Info.** tab, enter the specific item and lot number you want to trace.

The **Lot Tracing** page displays the entered lot number's source and destination lines in the FastTabs below the filter fields.

You can perform a second lot trace on one or more source or destination lines created from the initial lot trace.
3. Select the source or destination lines you want to trace, choose **Actions**, and then choose **Trace**. A second page containing the results of this trace appears.
