Inventory References
In addition to tracing component and WIP lot/serials, use this module to trace component lot inventory references.
Example: Lot 3A of steel wire comes in three spools. Each spool is separately identified in inventory using the Reference field as Sp1, Sp2 and Sp3. When consuming steel wire in manufacturing, enter the spool number in the Reference field during backflush. The inventory references are recorded in tracing history records. WLT reports that display references show the spool reference consumed into each finished item.
If inventory reference tracing is required in your manufacturing environment, you should first set up naming and usage standards for references. References are not validated within the system, but a clearly defined system facilitates data entry and reporting during and after manufacturing processes.
Note: You must trace component material in order to trace references.
