Using the Shop Floor Control app, operators can report batch numbers for ingredients used in manufacturing orders (MOs). By enabling batch tracking, you can scan or manually enter batch numbers during production tasks. This ensures accurate recording of ingredient batches, enhancing traceability and inventory management. The reported batch numbers are displayed in the MO Ingredients section of Katana's main app for easy reference and editing.

In order to track batch numbers in the App, you need to enable the setting so that the actual quantity of ingredients consumed is asked for.

In order to scan batch barcodes, the batch barcode labels have to be printed.

Operators can report batch numbers by scanning batch barcodes or searching for the batch number while finishing the operation.

If there are batch trackable ingredients in the recipe of MO, the batch numbers of ingredients used are asked at the time of completing a task in the Shop Floor App. It is asked for each task separately.

One or more batch numbers can be added to each ingredient row in the MO recipe.

Reporting of batch numbers is not mandatory in the Shop Floor App, so the operator can still complete the task without assigning a batch number. Although, once a batch number is selected, it is mandatory to enter the batch quantity.

The batch numbers reported from the Shop Floor App are displayed on the MO Ingredients section in Katana's main app and can be edited there if needed.
