Purpose
On the Work Order Detail page, users can create a Destruction Event of Inventory that is associated with a Batch. This feature allows for accurate tracking of inventory losses due to destruction within the context of a work order.
What can you do with it?
You can document the destruction of inventory items linked to a specific batch. This helps maintain precise inventory records, ensuring that destroyed items are properly accounted for in the system. It's particularly useful for tracking quality control measures, waste management, or compliance with regulatory requirements.
How is it done?
Follow these steps to create a Destruction Event:
Select the Destruction Lot
Choose from the list of Open Destruction Lots
Specify the Inventory Details
Select the Inventory Product from Work Order Input/Output
Choose the Active Batch from Work Order Input/Output
Pick the Active Lot from Work Order Input/Output
Enter Destruction Information
Input the Quantity to be destroyed
Select the Inventory Unit associated with the chosen Inventory Product
Choose the Destruction Reason from the provided options
Add Description and Timestamp
Enter comments in the Description field (this becomes the destruction event description)
Set the Timestamp for the event (optional - defaults to current date and time if left empty)
Review and Confirm
Double-check all entered information
Submit the Destruction Event
Important Considerations
The Timestamp cannot be backdated before the Work Order Open Date & Time
Ensure the selected Destruction Lot is appropriate for the inventory being destroyed
Verify that the Quantity and Inventory Unit are accurate to maintain correct stock levels
Best Practices
Always provide a detailed Description to explain the reason for destruction
Regularly review open Destruction Lots to ensure timely processing
Use consistent Destruction Reasons to facilitate reporting and analysis
