Hi!

When creating an order via API is it possible to assign a specific lot to order line item?

Thanks

Hey @pedro,

Thanks for reaching out!

Unfortunately, that is not possible. Lots work by FEFO (First Expired, First Out) and FIFO (First In, First Out). Our Lot’s article [here](https://software-help.shiphero.com/hc/en-us/articles/4419362160653-How-to-Use-Lots-and-Expiration-Tracking) has more helpful information about how Lot’s work.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Best,  
RayanP
