# Auto Allocate Lots for Barcode /Qty Scanning in Sale Bill

In the **Setup Sale Configuration** settings, the “**Auto Allocate Lost for Barcode/Qty Scanning”** option is added, which will allow you to automatically allocate items quantity from other lots in case the desired quantity is insufficient in a particular lot you selected.

After enabling this option when you will go to the Sale Bill and create a Bill for an item. Enter the item code along with its quantity by using a separator. ***For example, in the following picture***, you can see that along with item code i.e. **8904141505097**, a separator (**%**) has been used to define its weight/quantity i.e. **20000** (grams). It means you need 20 items right now. But the current lot has only **1** item, so in the **Qty** column, only 1 item got added.

But as we have enabled the “**Auto Allocate Lost for Barcode/Qty Scanning”** option, when you will press enter on your keyboard, it will automatically fetch items from other lots until the desired quantity level is reached i.e., **20**. You don’t have to manually enter the lot codes or quantity numbers every time.

**\[Note: Remember, the option will only work if you are using a Barcode and Quantity separator.]**\ <br>
