Needs to be a third option for items that are neither rejected nor listed, but placed in a "lot" with other items

Our issue is that recently our "Unprocessed Manifest Items" jumped from 300-500 average to over 19,000 a while ago. This has caused some confusion with our stores.
I support having the option for "Lot" and possibly a few additional options available.
Here's what our workflow has looked like since we started with Upright around a year ago:
- Accepted - An item will be moved through to photography/posting/etc.
- Rejected - Low Value, Broken & items we know right away will not sell.
- Hold - Items we'll process, but won't be rejected or accepted to photograph. These items may be grouped into lots, need to be authenticated or processed (data destruction).
With Hold items:
If we're placing the item in a lot - there's no straightforward way to indicate
what
lot the item is going into. So the SKU for that particular item is never updated and stays on "Hold" for "Lot" indefinitely.If an "Authentication" or "Processing" item is deemed counterfeit or does not pass our testing steps, the SKU for that item will also not be updated as such an action does not add value to the overall process. Items which are authentic or pass testing will be converted to "Accepted" for photography and posting.
To us, "Unprocessed Manifest Items" has always meant items which were not "Accepted", "Rejected" or "Held".
As others have mentioned in this thread, "Rejecting" an item that's going into a lot skews a store's rejection rate and causes confusion with the "Rejected" status as it then becomes both items which we don't want but also items which we do want, but that will be put into lots.
For us, if "Unprocessed Manifest Items" stays as items that are unprocessed or "Held", we would not only need a "Lot" status, but a way to more quickly update Counterfeit, Recycled & similar items (scanning mode in Link?).

I would love this too! Right now, if a location puts 5 separate items on a manifest that we want to lot together, we have to reject 4 of them and then use the 5th as the lot barcode. This then skews their rejection rates and we can't hold them to any certain percentage.
