Date / Lot Traceability in SAP

[Former Member]

We have multiple process centers in our company that machine place small electrical components onto serialized circuit cards which are then assembled into higher level serialized assemblies. Most of these components are so small that they donu2019t have part number, date code, or lot marking. Many are packaged on trays or reels for the convenience of machine usage. These parts are backflushed automatically and multiple lots could be in use on different machines at the same time. The parts are almost always warehouse managed but the build levels are not until final assembly. We have a requirement to track date/lot codes for some of these parts, from the point of receipt through multiple levels of build to final customer, whether machine placed or hand placed. We are looking for suggestions on how to accomplish this in SAP. Contact Jackie SEals at 319-295-3582.

Are you batch managing the components at all?

The SAP batch where-used list will do that for you. It can be run top-down or bottom-up. That is it can show you all the products a specific batch went into, or if you provide the final material number/batch number, it will show you all the components that went into making it.
