This topic describes a workflow that enables registration of raw fabric consumption in production by using a handheld device.

Introduction

This workflow is relevant if at that place is a strict requirement for cloth traceability. In those cases, to maintain traceability of the materials, the exact time and quantity must be reported for the consumption. This process can be seen every bit opposed to pre- or back-flushing operations, where there is an first between the time of registration and the time when the bodily consumption takes identify. This explains why a strategy of automatic consumption cannot exist used for some materials with traceability requirements. Permit'due south look at a simple scenario that explains how to set a workflow to enable registration of raw material consumption in production by using a handheld device. set up a workflow to enable registration of raw material consumption by using a handheld device.

Scenario details

A continuous production process (five) consumes the batch-controlled raw material RM-100. The material is on-hand on location Majority-001 (ane) on license plate PL-i with 2 batches, B1 and B2, both with a quantity of 100 lbs. Warehouse work (2) is released and processed for RM-100, and the cloth is picked from Bulk-001 to the production input location PIL-01 (three), which is divers as not-license plate controlled. The machine operator weighs out material from the product input location (3) and registers the weight and batch number equally consumed (four). From the production input location, a portion of the cloth is manually added to the production procedure in divers fourth dimension intervals. When the machine operator adds material, information technology is weighed on a scale and the batch number is registered.

Set upwards the workflow to register consumption using a handheld device

Create a finished-skillful product, FG-100, with a beak of material that has the batch-controlled raw material RM-100. Add two batches, B1 and B2, of RM-100 in a quantity of 100 to location: Bulk-001 on license plate: PL-one. The flushing principle on the bill of material line for RM-100 is set to Manual. Prepare  the product input location to PIL-01. You can do that by selecting this location equally the default production input location on warehouse 51.

  1. Create a new mobile device menu particular:
  • Bill of fare item name - Annals material consumption.
  • Championship - Annals fabric consumption.
  • Fashion - Indirect.
  • Action lawmaking - Register material consumption.
  1. Add together the card detail to the Production Mobile device menu.
  2. Create a production club for the finished product:
  • Item number - FG-100
  • Site - 5
  • Warehouse - 51
  • Quantity - 150

The product club is Estimated and Released and warehouse piece of work is created.

  1. Complete the work using the workflow for raw fabric picking for the handheld device.

This will bring the textile from the bulk location to the product input location PIL-01. Subsequently the work is completed, the fabric has the status Picked on the production input location. The status afterwards work has been processed can be either Picked or Reserved physical. This is configured with the parameter Consequence condition subsequently put on the warehouse form.

  1. Start the production gild either from the client or from the handheld device by using the Production start card item.

After the production order has been started, you can register material consumption with the workflow for the handheld device. Let's start by registering consumption of 25 lbs of batch B1.

  1. Select theRegister material consumption menu item in the carte for the mitt held device, enter the post-obit details:
  • The production social club number.
  • The location on which the material is going to be consumed, in this instance PIL-01.
  • Particular number RM-100.
  • Batch number B1.
  • A quantity of 25.
  1. Select OK.

Note that the bulletin "Journal line is created" appears on the display. On the production order there is an open journal of the type Production picking list for particular number RM-100 and batch number B1.

You can now cull to continue your registration, for example on batch number B2, and each time yous select OK, a new journal line is added to the open journal.

After yous have finished your registration, select Done to post the journal and finish the workflow.

Additional comments

  • If a user cancels the workflow after a periodical line is created, the journal is in an unposted state but if the user at a after signal uses the workflow for the same product social club, and so the lines will be added to the open journal rather than to a new journal.
  • The new workflow also supports the registration of series numbers.
  • It is only possible to register an item number that is defined in the nib of textile or in the formula for the selected production order or batch order.
  • Cloth tin can be overconsumed. For instance, if the material is estimated to be consumed with the quantity of 100 lbs, then it can be overconsumed with a quantity of, for instance, 105 lbs.
