Batch

The Batch module is used to divide a production order into smaller manageable units for manufacturing execution.
Each batch represents a portion of the production order that will be processed through the production line.

Batch creation helps organize production scheduling, machine allocation, and shift planning. Alt text for the image

Prerequisite

Before creating a batch, ensure that a Sequence Configuration has been created.

The Add New option for Batch will only be enabled if the required sequence configuration exists.
This is necessary because the Batch Number is automatically generated based on the configured sequence.

Creating a Batch

  1. Navigate to Production → Production Order.
  2. Select the required Production Order.
  3. Go to the Batch section.
  4. Click the Add New button.
  5. The Batch creation form will open.
  6. Enter the required details.
  7. Click Save. Alt text for the image

Batch Details

The batch form contains the following fields.

DescriptionOptional field used to provide additional information about the batch.

Shift Selection

When the Planned Date is selected, the system automatically displays the available shifts for that date.

Users must select the appropriate shift for executing the batch production.

Saving the Batch

After entering the required details:

  1. Verify the batch information.
  2. Click the Save button.

The batch will be created and associated with the selected Production Order.

Managing Batches

Once a batch is created, users can manage it from the Batch List.

The following actions are available:

  • Edit
  • Delete
  • Cancel Batch

Edit Batch

Users can modify batch details if changes are required.

  1. Locate the batch in the Batch List.
  2. Click the Edit option.
  3. Update the required fields.
  4. Click Save.

Delete Batch

If a batch is no longer required, it can be removed.

Steps:

  1. Locate the batch in the Batch List.
  2. Click the Delete option.

  6. Click Confirm.

Batch Status

After cancellation:

  • The Batch Color will automatically allocate.
  • The Batch Status will be updated.

The updated status will be visible in the Batch List, helping users easily identify cancelled batches.

Summary

The Batch module helps organize production execution by dividing production orders into manageable units.

It allows users to:

  • Automatically generate batch numbers
  • Assign production lines
  • Plan production dates and shifts
  • Edit batch details
  • Delete batches if required
  • Cancel batches with proper reason tracking

This ensures structured production scheduling and clear batch status tracking within the MES system.
