Batch Identification
Reference Contents > Inventory > Batch Identification
This window opens whenever a tracked part stock change is individually processed and enables you to choose a batch source of the movement and or a tracking reference for the part trace log. Normally the tracking reference is automatically assigned (see below), but in cases where there is no source link, such as a purchase or work order, you will be asked to provide one.

Tracking System
The traceability system in the program works by recording all movements of parts marked as Tracked. Each time a quantity of the part is moved a tracking record is produced with the following information:
|
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Part Number |
The number of the part being processed. |
|
Batch |
The batch number from which or to which the quantity was moved.
|
|
Tracking reference |
A coded reference which can identify the source or destination of the movement. For example, it may identify the Supplier, Purchase Order and Line Item of a receipt. |
|
Transaction type |
A single character code that identifies the process causing the movement. The transaction type is the same as that used in Stock History. |
|
Quantity |
The quantity in stock units of measure of the movement into inventory. If this is negative the movement was out of inventory. |
|
Extended Stock Information |
Length, Width, Units, Date and Comments |
CUSTOM CAPABILITY: The standard batch code in the system is 7 characters automatically generated. However the system can accommodate the customisation of the length of STOFILE.STOBATC and TCKFILE.TCKBATCH fields which may be required if manual batch numbering is in force. Normal system functionality will accommodate this, however some reports may need to be customised to accommodate extra column widths.|

Where:
CUSCODE = Customer code
SAHIVNO = Invoice Number
SAHLINE = Invoice Line Number
SUPCODE = Supplier Code
POHPONO = Purchase Order Number
POLLINE = Purchase Order Line Number
WKOWONO = Work Order Number
New Batch Numbers are constructed from XNNNNNN, where X is the Batch number prefix set in the “System Manager” “Company Details…” and NNNNNN is the next batch serial number.
For +ve qty movements a new batch location is created when received into inventory.
For -ve qty movements the batch location is the source from inventory.
User entered tracking references cannot be prefixed by the characters “C”, “S” or “W” which are reserved for automatic references.
NOTE: The following options can be used to modify the Batch Number and Tracking system operation:
optSOBatchNosInDesc : If set to 1 or YES, Batch Numbers of tracked parts will be appended to the Sales History description and show on invoices.
optStockBatchDateWarn : If set to 1 or YES, a user warning is given on batch selection at the time of dispatch when date-based batch numbers are older than number of days set in PTMUSE2. This enables an expired batch to be identified so that expired stock is not shipped to customers.
optStockBatchNoManual : If set to 1 or YES, the user is permitted to enter a Batch Number for batch tracked items received from a Purchase Order or received from a Work Order. The number must be unique and have a different prefix character to that currently set in the Company Details.
optStockBatchWindowOff when Extended Stock Information system preference is on, will suppress the opening of the New Multi-location for Part window.
