# Assembling: LOT Number Configuration – Manual and Expression

A new update in Logic ERP introduces the ability to generate LOT numbers automatically using either the Manual method or Expression-based logic.

This option allows users to generate LOT numbers using either the **Manual** method or **Expression**-based in logic ERP. It guides you through enabling the feature and implementing it effectively within the assembling processes.

**Step 1: Configuring LOT Number Generation:**

* Navigate to Inventory > Assembling and then
* Click on Configuration.
* Locate the option **“LOT Number As”.**
* Choose the appropriate option: either **Manual** or **Expression**, based on your requirement.

**Step 2:** Let’s now implement both options one by one.

When you select Manual, the software gives you the option to enter the LOT number manually in the Assembling window.

When you select **Expression**, the software provides some predefined fields that you can use to automatically generate the LOT number.

Let’s create a sale bill to check this functionality.
