Before you begin

To create a lot, you must have the Create raw material lots permission. If you do not have the permission to perform this task, request your administrator to provide the permission using Security. For more information, refer to Create a Role.

About this task

As an operator, you can create a lot in the BOM Details section if the lot is not available for consumption while executing an operation.

Procedure

Log in to Plant Applications Web Client.
Select .
By default, the Open page appears, displaying a list of process orders grouped by the associated execution path in a tabular format.
From the table, select a process order.
The Process Order Details page appears. In the left panel, you can view the process order that you have selected along with remaining process orders grouped by their execution paths. In the right panel, you can view the high-level statistics of the process order that you have selected along with the other details that are segregated under the Statistics, BOM, Properties and History sections.
Note: If you have defined the custom tab(s) in the Configuration application, the associated custom tab details appear.
Select BOM Details.
By default, the production events and all the BOM formulation details associated to the selected process order appear.
Expand Production Event List, and then select a production event as needed.
The BOM item details for the selected production event appears.
Select a BOM item whose consumption you want to specify.
A window appears, providing information on the required quantity of the BOM item, whether consuming the BOM item is mandatory to complete the operation, and the quantity that has been already consumed for the serial/lot.
Tip: You can access the consumption history of the BOM items in the Consumption History section.
While consuming a lot, enter the lot number of the BOM item you want to consume in the SCAN SERIAL/LOT# box.
In the QTY TO CONSUME box, enter the quantity of the BOM items you want to consume in the operation.
Select Consume.
A message appears, indicating that the lot number you entered is not available in the Plant Applications database and if you want to create a lot.
In the Material drop-down box, select the material you want from the Primary Material. You can also select substitutions for the material from the Substitutions drop-down list.
In the EQUIPMENT drop-down list box, select an equipment on which you want to create the lot.
Note: A list of equipment or units appear based on your product and equipment configuration, the unit of measure (UOM) of the BOM item, and the equipment. Based on these conditions, you can do one of the following:
- Select one of the equipment if more than one equipment is available in the Plant Applications database.
- By default, an equipment appears in the EQUIPMENT drop-down list box if there is only one equipment available in the Plant Applications database.
- Create a lot on your current equipment if there is no equipment available in the Plant Applications database that matches with these conditions. However, you can create a lot on your current equipment only when the UOMs of your equipment and BOM item match.
Else, an error message appears, indicating that the unit of measure (UOM) of the equipment does not match with the UOM of the BOM item. For more information on the error messages that you might see while creating a lot, refer to the section Error Messages while Creating a Lot.
In the QTY TO CREATE field, enter the quantity of the BOM items that you want to create on the lot.
Note:
- The quantity to consume value in the QTY TO CONSUME field is populated as provided in the Consume section of that material.
- You must ensure that the mandatory quantity of the material specified in Route Editor for an operation is consumed while performing the operation in Unit Operations.
Select Yes.
A lot is created in the Plant Applications database and the quantity of BOM items specified are consumed from the lot created.
