Matrix Enquiry - Batch Tracking

The Stock Ledger Enquiry allows you to view a list of the batches available for each stock item showing physical quantities etc., and the batch code enquiry allows you to see the quantity details for individual batches. Where you have a matrix item this option allows you a snapshot table enquiry of all the batches for an individual stock item.

Selecting this option asks for the stock code to enquiry upon and then asks how you want the table to be displayed, and then the quantity to view.

Stock Code

Select the stock code to be enquired upon; <F4-Select> is available if required. Only stock codes that are flagged as matrix / template items will be accepted.

Factor to Display in Rows

Factor to Display in Columns

Factor to Display per Screen

These parameters ask how to configure the enquiry – which of the factors is to be displayed across the screen, down the screen and which (for a three-factored matrix) is to be displayed on subsequent screens. On entry on the stock code the factors defined for that item are displayed for reference.

P) Phys, O) On-Order, R) Res or F) Free

This parameter asks which of the stock quantities you wish to enquire upon.

Once these details have been entered / confirmed then the matrix enquiry is displayed.

Here the first selected factor (colour) is displayed across the screen, the second selected factor (size) is displayed down the screen and the quantities are displayed as a grid – pressing <Enter> or the Zoom button will list the batch item(s) for that combination. For a three-factored matrix enquiry pressing <Page-Down> and <Page-Up> allows you to display the third factors variations.
