Return Materials to Deleted Lots

To keep things clean and performant, our system automatically deletes empty lots once all inventory has been removed. However, this caused an unintended side effect — when users tried to return materials that were originally picked from a now-deleted lot, that lot no longer appeared in Job Tracking. As a result, users had to post returns without a lot assigned, leading to inventory inaccuracies and incorrect job costing (often defaulting to $0 values).

With this release, we’ve enhanced the logic so that empty, deleted lots will now appear in Job Tracking whenever the user previously picked inventory from that lot for the same item. If a return is posted to a deleted lot, the system will automatically reactivate that lot to ensure both inventory balances and job costing values remain accurate.
