  1. Introduction to Lot Attributes Forrest Mori QAD Item Attributes

  2. Introduction to Lot Attributes Lesson Objectives • Understand key concepts and facts for • Regulatory attributes • Lots and lot attributes • Sub lot attributes • Lot attributes and regulatory attributes • Develop high-level understanding of how to define the attributes for an item that are to be used as lot attributes • Understand issues related attributes and data type

  3. Introduction to Lot Attributes Regulatory Attributes • Limited to • Expire Date • Grade • Assay • Lot attributes linked to and depend on inventory data • Values for inventory lot records for a site, location, and reference • Values are not fixed for a lot and can differ by location • Lot values disappear when inventory records are deleted

  4. Introduction to Lot Attributes Regulatory Attributes for Inventory Detail Regulatory attributes for expire date, grade, assay percentage

  5. Introduction to Lot Attributes Lot Attributes • Lot master records for an item, lot, and domain • Attribute values for lot master records • Lot attributes are independent from inventory lot data • Attribute values for a lot are consistent for that lot across locations and sites • Support for sublot attributes • Independent from regulatory attributes for expire date, grade, and assay

  6. Introduction to Lot Attributes Sub lot Attributes • Lot-sub lot master records for an item, lot, reference, and domain • Attribute values for a lot are consistent for an item, lot, and reference across locations and sites • Inventory reference field must be dedicated to identify a sub lot • Should not be used when reference is used to identify a location, skid, or pallet • Not appropriate when using QAD Warehousing

  7. Introduction to Lot Attributes Lot Attribute Data with Item Attributes • Three points of data entry • Receipt transactions from suppliers on purchase orders • Receipts from production on work orders or a repetitive schedule • Unplanned inventory receipts • Lot attribute orders created by receipt transactions • Quality orders when there are test specifications

  8. Introduction to Lot Attributes Lot Attribute Orders and Quality Orders • Support separation of duties between inventory functions, administrative functions, and quality functions • Configure attributes to streamline, prevent, or permit entry of lot attribute values during purchasing and production receipts • Provision of lot attribute orders and quality orders for maintaining values by appropriate personnel

  9. Introduction to Lot Attributes Defining Lot Attributes for an Item • Setup task to define the attributes that will be tracked as tracked for an item lot • Use of profile collections such as Maintain Item Attributes • Similar workflow as defining item attributes • More attention to the parameters for each attribute (covered in a different lesson)

  10. Introduction to Lot Attributes The Maintain Item Profile collection • Item Profile for 04510 Olive Oil • Attribute ‘level’ parameter = ‘Lot’ or ‘Sublot’ Browse to select and maintain an item profile Browse with attributes for an item profile Optional categories for a profile attribute Preview function to test attribute setup

  11. Introduction to Lot Attributes Item Attributes are Inherently Open • Flexible to define many different attributes with different datatypes and the same label for one characteristic • Requires detailed analysis for an item and its attributes that includes • How each attribute value will be represented • The range of possible values for the an attribute • How the working specification details for the attribute will be expressed

  12. Introduction to Lot Attributes Attribute with Logical Datatype • An attribute defined with a logical datatype • Can have one of two values such as true or false • Values can be expressed with outcomes such as ‘gluten free’ or ‘contains gluten’ • Can be appropriate for representing characteristics that are measured with numeric values such as heavy metals or bacteria

  13. Introduction to Lot Attributes Use of Logical Attributes • Suppose a characteristic for ‘lead’ or ‘cadmium’ is measured by a test that yields integer or decimal data such as ‘3 ppm’ • Discussion questions • When is that characteristic for a lot best expressed with • A single integer or decimal attribute • A single logical attribute • More than one attribute, an integer or decimal attribute and a logical attribute • What are the best applications for logical attributes? • What are the pros and cons of using logical attributes for those items?
