# Set a lot picking method

For some items, set a lot picking method on the item tracking code. The program uses the designated method when suggesting the item lots to pick on a warehouse pick document. The warehouse zone and bin in which the suggested lot is stored is also copied to the warehouse pick.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Lot warehouse tracking must be enabled for an item tracking code before a lot picking method can be selected.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Item Tracking Codes**, and then choose the related link.
2. Create a new item tracking code or select an existing one, then on the **Home** tab, in the **Manage** group, choose **Edit**.
3. On the **Misc.** FastTab, fill in the **Lot Warehouse Picking Method** field with the lot picking method the system should use when suggesting picks for items with the assigned item tracking code.
