Propagates selected stock lot fields from a consumed component to the
produced lots of a manufacturing order, including flagged by-products.
Some manufacturing flows need produced lots to keep information from the
lot consumed for a key component.
For example, a component lot can define expiration or traceability
metadata that must remain available on the finished product lot, or on
selected by-product lots, after production.
The same need can appear on manual manufacturing orders that do not use
a BoM. In that case, the manufactured product category can define which
propagation profile should be used.
Only one component line can have a propagation profile per BoM, and the
component must be tracked by lots or serial numbers.
Propagated fields are grouped in profiles. To create one:
- Go to Manufacturing > Configuration > Lot Info Propagation
Profiles.
- Create a profile.
- Select the stock lot fields that the profile should propagate.
To configure product category defaults:
- Go to a product category.
- Set MRP Lot Propagation Profile.
That profile will be proposed automatically on BoM lines when selecting
a component from that category.
To configure a BoM:
- Open the BoM.
- On the component line that should provide the lot information, review
or edit the lot propagation profile.
- Leave the profile empty on the other component lines.
- On by-product lines that should receive the same lot information,
enable Propagate Lot Info.
For manufacturing orders created without a BoM, configure the
propagation profile on the manufactured product category. The order must
consume exactly one lot/serial number across all raw material moves.
To use lot propagation in manufacturing:
- Confirm the manufacturing order.
- Consume exactly one lot/serial number for the configured component.
- Set the finished product lot/serial number.
- Validate the manufacturing order.
During validation, the configured non-empty values from the consumed
component lot are copied to the finished product lot and to the lots of
by-products that have Propagate Lot Info enabled on the BoM.
