Works Order Entry - Batch Tracking

As batch details are only prompted for a physical movement of stock then works order entry, which will only reserve or place stock on-order, would not normally prompt for batch details. However, if configured accordingly, the system can prompt for serial/batch details as part of the order entry process and will mark the items as reserved/on-order as appropriate.

On completion of the Works Order Header details then the system will prompt for the batch/serial details of the items being built, followed by the batch details of the component stock items. The items being built are placed on-order, the items being issued are reserved.Where a sub-assembly item is being both built and issued (i.e. 10 are required, 4 available in stock, 6 need to be built) then the system asks firstly for the build batch details and then the issue details.

If pre-allocate batch details then the Works Order Acknowledgement can print the batch/serial details.
