Completing a Lot Attribute Order
The three most common ways to complete an open lot attribute are to close it, cancel it, or delete it. Each has a specific purpose within most work flows.
Closing a Lot Attribute Order
The most common scenario when completing a lot attribute order is to record the results of the order and close it. Follow these steps to close a lot attribute order:
1 Depending on the type of order (inventory, purchasing, production, or sales), open the correct profile collection. See Navigating to the Correct Type of Order.
2 Select the order and verify that the attribute values have been entered and are conforming. See Verify That Lot Attribute Order Values Have Been Entered.
3 If necessary, enter information regarding the lot that was inspected, such as the order quantity, total quantity destroyed and retained, and so on. For detailed field definitions, see Lot Attribute or Quality Orders Field Descriptions.
4 If all the required information has been entered, change the Order Status to Closed.
Canceling a Lot Attribute Order
Another scenario when completing a lot attribute order is to cancel the order when it is no longer helpful but is still incomplete. After canceling an order, a record of the canceled order remains in the system.
Follow these steps to cancel a lot attribute order:
1 Depending on the type of order (inventory, purchasing, production, or sales), open the correct profile collection. See Navigating to the Correct Type of Order.
2 Open the order. For detailed field definitions, see Lot Attribute or Quality Orders Field Descriptions.
3 Change the Order Status to Canceled.
Deleting a Lot Attribute Order
The third most common scenario when completing a lot attribute order is to delete the order if it is redundant or improperly created. Deleting an order is useful when you need to remove the order from the system and a record of a canceled order would be confusing.
Note: You can only delete an order if:
• The status is Open or Results Pending.
• The order attributes are not required or do not need to be validated (Required and Validated = No).
Follow these steps to delete a lot attribute order:
1 Depending on the type of order (inventory, purchasing, production, or sales), open the correct profile collection. See Navigating to the Correct Type of Order.
2 Open the order. For detailed field definitions, see Lot Attribute or Quality Orders Field Descriptions.
3 Select Delete from the Actions menu.
