Explanation
Use this activity to generate and reserve a lot/batch number to a co-product of a shop order.
To generate a lot/batch number for a co-product, click Traceability and then click
Generate Lot/Batch No.
In the Generate Lot/Batch Numberdialog:
- To reserve alphanumeric prefixes for lot/batch number, enter that number in the Lot Batch String
field. By default, the value entered in the Lot Batch String field appears on the
Inventory Part/Manufacturing page. If the field is left empty, the main product order based
lot/batch number is generated for the co-product.
Note: A co-product can have only one lot/batch number.
Prerequisites
- A shop order must have been created at a site with Use Shop Order Lot/Batch No for
Co-Products disabled on the Site/Manufacturing page.
- The shop order must have a co-product part with Lot/Batch Tracking set to Lot
Tracking in the Lot/Batch Tracking section on the Part
page.
System Effects
- The system reserves a lot/batch number for the shop order co-product line.
- If the lot/batch number does not already exist for the part, new record is created on the Part
Lot Batch page.
