How to Change Lot Stage

Lot stages can be changed at any point in time from the Lot Details Page. Lot stages should be changed whenever the lot is complete with one phase of its life, such as finishing primary fermentation and moving to malolactic fermentation. Stages are primarily helpful for reporting; when you are working with lots or viewing lots in a report or Explorer, you can always filter the lots by Stage.

Changing the lot stage does not impact your TTB Reporting or update a lot's tax class. Find out how to update tax class on a lot here
