Generate Order Based Lot/Batch Numbers for Shop Order
Explanation
Use this activity to generate and reserve order based lot/batch numbers to a shop order. The reserved lot/batch
numbers are used when the system receives parts into inventory.
To generate lot/batch numbers, click Traceability and then Generate Order Based Lot/Batch No.
Below options are available in the dialog:
- Enter the quantity for the lot in the Expected Quantity for Lot field and click
Generate. Repeat for the desired number of lots.
- For the last lot, click OK instead of Generate and the dialog will be
closed after the lot/batch number is generated.
Prerequisites
- The part must have Lot/Batch Tracking set to Order Based in the
Part page.
- The shop order must have type set to Manufacturing, Repair or
Prototype.
System Effects
- The system reserves lot/batch numbers for the shop order following the standard syntax of [Order No]-[Release
No]-[Sequence No] plus an index number. Thus a shop order with order no XB1001, release no 1, sequence no 1 would
have a generated lot/batch number XB1001-1-1-1. If the part being manufactured allows more than one lot per
order, you can reserve multiple lot/batches; this will increment the last number shown in the generated example
to give you XB1001-1-1-2, XB1001-1-1-3 etc.
- When the part is set to use order-based lot-tracking with only one lot per production order allowed, the shop
order will automatically reserve a single lot/batch number for the entire quantity on the shop order. If the part
allows multiple lots per order, lot/batch numbers must be manually generated.
- A new record is created on Part Lot Batch page.
