Define Lot Tracking Information

You can enter lot tracking information for each unit assigned to a material.

Note: The Materials Editor does not require you to define lot tracking information for all materials used in production. The AVEVA Batch Management System records the lot tracking information to the History database if this information is defined, but if the information is not defined, the AVEVA Batch Management System still processes all batches that use the material.

To assign lot tracking information

1. Open the Materials Status dialog box.

2. Select a material ID.

3. On the Edit menu, click Material Locations.

   The Material Location Assignment Editor dialog box appears.
