Output lines of the production order

Article08/22/20232 min read

When creating the production order documents such as simulated, firm planned, planned production, and released, the lot attribute values are automatically filled in the document line while selecting the Item number.

Note

The values for the global lot attributes are only filled in if the type of production document line is an Item.

The lot attribute values of an item are displayed in the document line if they are fixed values. These values can’t be changed.

For the lot attribute values that aren’t fixed, you can select a value from the list of options available or manually enter a value, depending on the field. If not required, these fields can be left blank until the completion of the process or be filled during production.

In summary, the following scenarios exist:

  • Global Lot Attribute is defined with a fixed value on the item template. The field is filled in the document line and cannot be changed.
  • Global Lot Attribute is defined with allowed values on the item template. The field is initially blank and can be changed to any of the allowed values.
  • Global Lot Attribute is not defined on the item template. The field is initially blank and can be changed to any value defined for the lot attribute. Here, the item template is not considered.

While assigning lot numbers to the document line, the Global Lot Attribute values are inherited from the document line to the lot numbers. The non-global lot attribute values are inherited from the item template to the lot numbers.

After assigning a lot number via the Item Tracking Lines page of the production output order line, the global and non-global lot attributes with their values are inherited from the created lot numbers. The lot attribute value information appears in the Lot Attributes FactBox (Ctrl + L).

Changes to the registered global lot attribute can still be made to the production document line and the Lot Attributes FactBox. However, you will be notified if there are any differences between the values of global lot attributes at the output line and lot level.
