A Production Batch is the identifier that contains all the Traceability information (Production Batch Properties and Attributes) for Lot Tracked Items. This number stays attached to the product, even if it is transferred to another Site. Production Batch is one of the 5 components that make up a unique Inventory Lot and it is required when entering a transaction line for a Lot Tracked Item. This value will be blank and/or disabled for all non-Lot Tracked items on screens that include a Production Batch field. The purpose of this page is to view/edit Production Batch information.

Production Batch 

Identifies the Production Batch ID of the Lot. This value defaults from the 'Production Batch' value specified on the Inventory transaction that created the Production Batch. This can be edited from the 'Production Batch' field on the Properties tab of the Production Batch record view. If the inventory lot is committed and the item is not lot tracked, this value will display as "Item Tracked". If the inventory lot is committed and the item is not tracked, this value will display as "Commitments".

A Production Batch is the identifier that contains all the Traceability information (Production Batch Properties and Attributes) for Lot Tracked Items. This number stays attached to the product, even if it is transferred to another Site. Production Batch is one of the 5 components that make up a unique Inventory Lot and it is required when entering a transaction line for a Lot Tracked Item. This value will be blank and/or disabled for all non-Lot Tracked items on screens that include a Production Batch field.

An Inventory Lot is the most granular level that item balances (quantities of Units and/or Weight) are stored within NorthScope. Inventory Lots are created for all Inventory Items assigned an Item Type of “Inventory', regardless of whether the Item is Lot Tracked (i.e., balances are maintained by Production Batch) or the Site containing the product is 'Warehouse Lot' tracked or not. 

An Inventory Lot is unique by combination of:

  • Item: The Item ID (required for all Inventory Lots)
  • Site: The Site/Warehouse that contains the inventory (required for all Inventory Lots)
  • Production Batch: The date code or other traceability reference that stays with product and never changes. It is required for Items with a 'Lot Tracked' property of "Yes" and will be blank for Items with a 'Lot Tracked' property of "No"
  • Warehouse Lot: The identifier or location within a Site/Warehouse, this is most typically used for 3rd party distribution sites. It is required for 'Inventory Lots' in a Warehouse Lot tracked Site and will be blank for 'Inventory Lots' in a non Warehouse Lot tracked Site. This has nothing to do with whether the Item is 'Lot Tracked' or not. 
  • Owner: Identifies who owns the product. This is required for all Inventory Lots.

Database Field: ERPx_IMProductionLot.ProductionLotID

Item

Identifies the Item, displayed as Item ID: Item Description. This value defaults from the 'Production Batch' value specified on the Inventory transaction that created the Production Batch and is not editable after the initial Save. This can only be edited by changing either the "Item ID" or 'Item Description' field on the Properties tab of the Item record view.
