Further Functions for Process Batch Management
Use
In the time ticket/confirmation, there are a number of other functions for process batch management in addition to the features already described.
Features
Send message
You can use the pushbutton
Message to last person who changed order
to send a short message (50 characters) to the person who last changed the production order.
Display or change batch characteristics
You can display the classification of every process batch, input batch or goods receipt batch (
Classification
pushbutton).
Usually, you can only display the characteristics of a batch. You can only change the classification of a batch if the following requirements have been met:
The process batch is on the highest level and no goods receipt batch has been created for the process batch.
A goods receipt has not yet been posted for a goods receipt batch.
Find process batch
You can use the
Position Process Batch
pushbutton, you can search for process batches in the
Process Batch
area. You can enter either the complete batch number or just the first few characters of the batch number.
Display actual quantity
In the confirmation transaction, there are two ways of having the system propose the quantity to be confirmed:
If you press the
ActQty
pushbutton, the system proposes in the
Process Batch
area the quantity that you entered in the previous operation for this process batch. If you have confirmed quantities in the current operation, the system displays the difference between the quantity that was confirmed in the previous operation and the quantity that you already confirmed in the current operation.
If you press the
Actual data
pushbutton, the system proposes the order quantity in theOperation quantity
area.
Error log for quantity check
In the confirmation for production orders, the system carries out quantity checks in which it compares the quantities confirmed via the process batches with the quantity from the production order. If the system issues warnings as a result of these quantity checks, the system enters all these messages in an error log.
You can call up this error log by pressing the
Error log quantity check
pushbutton.
Error messages that are generated in connection with this are not entered in the error log; they must be processed directly.
Batch where-used list for process batches
In the time ticket/confirmation transaction, you can use the
PB where-used list
pushbutton to display a batch where-used list for the process batches of the production order that is to be confirmed.
If you do not select a process batch, the system displays all the process batches for the production order.
If you select a process batch, the system only uses the selected batch to access the batch where-used list.
You can also display the batch where-used list for process batches in the production order by choosing
