Creating and Consulting Batches

Attention! This manual has been developed for MKG004 software. If you are using MKG5, the description of the operation may differ in some respects from your environment. We strive to create a product-specific description for this topic in the future.

When, within the 'Production Order Action List', the completion of a production order is modified via the Edit… button on the 'Completion' tab, or when a purchase order is received, the fields below become available and can be used to provide a batch with additional information:

• Memo. Freely fillable memo field.
• Location. Warehouse location to specify where the batch is stored. When it concerns an item and the 'Warehouse Location' field is filled in, this field will be automatically populated.
• Certificate. Certificate type of the batch. When it concerns an item and the 'Certificate' field is filled in at the item, this field will be automatically populated.
• ID. Own identifier of the batch. This can be a serial number or a description. The field can be filled in prior to receipt and completion by specifying it on the production order or purchase order line.

Splitting Batches

A production order completion or the receipt of a purchase order basically results in one batch of a certain quantity. MKG offers the possibility to influence this. An exception is when it concerns an item with the setting 'Create batches per 1 unit', see the 'General' tab in Item Management.

In the image above (tab 'Batch'), the number of batches created by MKG when actually completing or receiving is presented.

• New. Creates a new batch where the quantity must be entered manually.
• Edit. Modifies the data (for example 'Quantity' or 'ID') of a selected line.
• Delete. Deletes a selected line.
• Create. Allows you to quickly create a series of batches. The alternative is to select New multiple times.

In the above screen, specify the desired number of batches and the quantity. Optionally supplemented with additional batch information. After selecting OK, multiple batches will be visible.

The sum of the created batches forms the total quantity to be completed or received.
