What Does This Procedure Do?
Under the Create tab in the Batch Number List you can print a list of all the reporting made containing a batch number. During reporting of used quantity in the Material Reporting procedure, you can enter a batch number for a particular withdrawal. All the records that have been reported with a batch number are saved in a special register. From this register you can create lists in this procedure. All information shown in the list comes from that register. This register can be saved for traceability for many years. For a more detailed description of the list, please see printout samples.
Traceability
By means of increased and standardized quality requirements such as ISO-9000, customers often require their suppliers to provide traceability on material that is incorporated in certain products, so that you can use a delivery number from the supplier to trace the material backwards. For example, you can trace from which batch in a steel mill the material used in a certain product originates.
The Batch number register can be used in many ways: for traceability from a manufacturing order to a purchase order; for traceability from a manufacturing order to another manufacturing order (so-called "stock order").
You create traceability from a customer order to a manufacturing order in the product register. Read more about the product registers in the Update Product Register procedure in the Inventory module.
