Datafile Software Introduction to Batch Tracking Batch Tracking is an application accessory available on the Diamond and Premier Product levels. It adds batch tracking facilities to the stock, invoicing, order processing and job costing applications, keeping a note of all batches and serial numbers for those stock items designated to have this level of attention. Batch tracking is implemented in the Datafile Software
system by adding a batch and a batch transaction file. The batch file holds a record of each batch
and of each serial number recorded in the stock system. The batch file is a detail file to the stock
master file, but is itself prime-indexed to ensure unique numbers for both
batch and serial numbers. The batch
transaction file records the movements of serial numbered items and of items in
batches. This file structure is
illustrated below. Every time a physical quantity of a flagged stock item is moved the system asks for the batch/serial code and generates the appropriate transactions. Batch Tracking is supported for stock transactions generated in the following applications: Stock Control Invoicer (excluding Matrix / Template Items) Job Costing (excluding Matrix / Template Items) Sales Order Processing Purchase Order Processing Bill of Materials It is not supported for stock transactions generated
directly through the sales/purchase ledgers or via stock batch update. The application of Batch Tracking to Stock Control has been discussed were appropriate in the previous chapters, this is covered again here for completeness before going on to cover the Batch Tracking enquiry and reporting options and the implications for other applications such as Order Processing (although batch processing also covered in these application manuals as well were appropriate). |
