Purpose
The following process chain describes how batch management could look when integrated into
the relevant
Process Flow
Sales & Distribution
• A sales order for a material subject to handling in batches is posted.
You have previously agreed with the customer that the batches of the material he is
supplied with must meet certain specifications.
• you run a batch determination, as well as a batch availability and usability check. The
system determines that the sales order cannot be met with the present stock.
• a requirement is transferred to production.
Production
• A production order (discrete manufacturing) or a process order (process manufacturing)
is created for the material to be handled in batches due to the posted sales order.
• A batch number can be assigned for the quantity of material to be produced.
• As raw materials with certain specifications are required for the manufacture of this
material, batch determination is triggered.
• If a sufficient quantity of raw material is available, the selected batches are reserved for
the production or process order
Purchasing
• If there is an insufficient quantity of raw material, the required quantity with the
appropriate specifications is ordered from the vendor.
Goods Receipt
• Due to the purchase order created by purchasing, the raw material is posted to the stock
in quality inspection during goods receipt.
• The batch is assigned a batch number.
• An inspection lot is created.
Quality Management
• The delivered batch of raw material is subject to quality inspection.
• The inspection results are recorded, and become available to batch determination as
soon as the usage decision has been recorded.
• The batch is posted to either restricted or unrestricted stock.
Warehouse Management
• The batch of raw material is placed into stock at storage bin level.
Production
• Before production commences, an availability check is run as part of batch
determination.
• The production or process order is released.
• A batch number is assigned to the material to be produced.
• The shop floor papers (PI sheet, for example) are created.
• An order-related inspection lot is created for quality inspection.
• The raw materials warehouse is notified of the transport requirement for material
provision.
Warehouse Management
• Using the transport requirement, the batch of raw materials is provided at the correct
time and date.
Production
• The manufacturing process is completed, the batch of raw material is consumed.
Inventory management
• The goods issue for the batch of raw material required by production is posted.
Quality Management
• Inspections are conducted during the manufacturing process.
• The inspection results are recorded.
• A usage decision is made.
Inventory Management
• The batch produced is posted to the stock in quality inspection.
• An inspection lot is created.
Quality Management
• The batch produced is subject to a quality inspection for final release.
• The inspection results are recorded.
• A usage decision is made.
Inventory Management
• The batch produced is posted to unrestricted-use stock.
Sales & Distribution
• During delivery, batch determination is conducted with reference to the sales order.
• During batch determination, an availability check is carried out.
• Using the inspection results for quality management, inspection certificates can be
automatically created.
Inventory Management
• The goods issue is posted.
