According to Rebecca Gill, vice-president of Technology Group International (TGI Ltd. www.tgiltd.com) makers of Enterprise 21 ERP software, "There are key lot traceability functions that are essential to comply with the Bioterrorism Act and plenty of ERP vendors claiming market segmentation competency that cannot meet these requirements."

• Full tracking of raw material lots through manufacturing;
• Full tracking of finished good lots through shipment to customer;
• Complete reporting on lot genealogy showing all usage of lots in from vendor, through manufacturing job, and to end user;
• Ability to query end-user sales order and see all raw material and finished good lots used for specific shipment;
• Ability to query lot from vendor or manufacturing and see all end-users shipped to;
• Ability to track lot properties with allowable “criteria” for each lot.
