Split Prod. Order Lines per Lot Components

BUSINESS VALUE / REQUIREMENT

In some companies it is required to have a very specific tracking of the component Lot No. that you use to produce a product that also must be tracked with a Lot No.

If you use one production order line in your production order there is moments where you might need to assigne a new Lot No. in the mittle of one production order. If this is the case you can achive better analytics creating a new Production Order Line for each different Output Lot No. This can be done manually or by using the function "Split Line for Lot No." that was introduced in order to make things easier for you.

While Splitting, Routing, Components, Reservation, Picking and Item Tracking Information will be taken into account

Item Settings

1. Open the Item Card of the product you want to create a production order with
2. Make sure your product has a Routing No.
3. Check that the Production BOM No. includes at least one component that has to be tracked by Lot No.
4. Check that a Item Tracking Code was assigned to your item

Item Tracking Code Settings

1. Go to Item Tracking Card you assigned to your product
2. Check if you assigned a Lot Specific Tracking
3. If needed activate "Lot Warehouse Tracking" (Picking Information will be transfered into new line if you use the split function)

Production Order

Now that all settings are done it is time to use the split feature. You will notice that the function ""Split Line for Lot No." is not available at first. This is only available after posting a partial production output.

1. Create a released production order
2. Select the created item and set a quantity greater than zero
3. Refresh production order

Partial Production Output

1. Go to Lines and then Production Journal in order to post a partial production output.
2. Insert Consumption Quantity for Components and Output Quantity for Output Product. We post a partial quantity meaning that this quantity is lower that production order quantity.
3. Insert Lot No. Tracking for the components and the output product

Eventually after posting production output you will have to refresh page using F5 that you can actually use the function "Split Line fot Lot No."

Spliting Lines for Lot No.

After splitting lines for Lot No. you will see that a new line with the unfinished quantity was created. You can now repeat the process and post the corresponding output quantity for the second line having into account another Lot No. for components or your output.

Routing, Components, Reservation, Picking and Item Tracking Information will be transfered to the new line
