Use Transfer Phases with Material Output Parameters

When Batch Manager encounters a transfer phase that has an output type parameter, the appropriate destination unit and connection is allocated. The actual quantity of product transferred may or may not be measured automatically. In some cases, it is desirable for the operator to enter in the actual quantity. Either of these situations can be handled and is determined by how the phase is configured in the process model. Batch Manager logs to history the target and measured or actual value entered by the operator, if the phase is configured as such. If the actual is not measured or the operator is not required to enter the actual, Batch Manager assumes that the actual is equal to the target and both are logged.

For automatic transfer phases, Batch Manager assigns the unit to the material and increments the material quantity in the Materials Database. The quantity produced and the associated batch identification (Campaign ID, Lot ID, and Batch ID) are logged to history.
