Traceability problem with discrete traceability

Former Member

Hi,

Case is this we have component qty=1 in BOM.

When the machine assembles the component during the component batch change machine does not know is the component from lot1 or lot2.

That means that we need to send in assembly xml-message inventory ids (lot 1 & lot2). That leads to situation that only the first inventory id gets recorded (because SAP thinks that all qty is assembled already).

Is there any way to record multiple inventory IDs / 1 component?

As a workaround we have increased the BOM qty but that is not the solution we would like to use.

Br,

Pete

Thank you. We will most probably use fractional qtys.

I can think of two options:

1. Use fractional qtys to indicate it could be either lot1 or lot2. This means allowing fractions in Material Maintenance (Qty Restrictions field) and then sending in lot1 with a QTY=0.5 and lot2 with a QTY=0.5. There is also a System Rule that controls if fractions are allowed in BOM maintenance, but I doubt that will cause problems.

2. Assemble extra QTY. This may require sending lot1 (QTY=1.0) and lot2 (QTY=1.0) in two different messages. ME allows extra assembly, but it might have logic in the XML processing to ignore the other lot once the QTY is satisfied. (This is a guess, but you could try it manually in assembly point to verify that ME allows the extra assembly).

Option 2 has another drawback: I fyou use the Check Configuration hook activity will trigger an error if the QTY assembled is 2.0.
