* Select or enter the required **Lot Code Pre-Fix**
  * *(for example: “S”)*.
* This option allows you to define a **specific prefix** that will be used while scanning lot codes.

* Set **Item Code As = Lot Code**.

> This step is mandatory. Without setting *Item Code As* to **Lot Code**, the system will not recognize lot codes during scanning.

* Save the configuration.

### Use Lot Code Pre-Fix During Stock Transfer

* Create a **new godown-wise stock transfer voucher**.
* Select **Godown From** and **Godown To**.
* Scan or enter the **lot code along with the defined prefix**\
  \&#xNAN;*(example: S12345)*.

***

### Key Benefit

Using a Lot Code Pre-Fix:

* Speeds up lot scanning

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://kb.logicerp.com/logic-erp-learning-hub-tutorials-and-best-practices/inventory/stock-transfer-godown-wise/stock-transfer-godown-wise-configuration/lot-code-pre-fix.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
