Batch Numbering

The document outlines a proposed solution for ensuring unique batch numbers within PHARCO Corp by using specific number ranges and prefixes. It details the implementation process for goods receipt, stock transfers between plants, and in-house production, including how batch numbers will be assigned and managed. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of maintaining unique identifiers for batches and provides general notes on batch number creation restrictions.

Batch numbering

After reviewing the batch numbering requirements, we propose the following solution to ensure that batch numbers
are unique within PHARCO Corp. This will be achieved by adhering to the attached number ranges, where the
characters S/M will serve as the first digit of the batch number (e.g., batch number S100010 instead of 1S00010).
Here’s how this will be implemented:

1. Goods Receipt:

• For Plant 1010:


o If material R1 is received first, the batch number will be S100001. If R2 is received next, it
will be S100002.

Material Code Batch Plant


R1 S100001 1010
R2 S100002 1010
P1 S100003 1010
R1 S100004 1010
P2 S100005 1010
P2 S100006 1010
• For Plant 2010:
o If material R1 is received first, the batch number will be S200001. If P1 is received next, it
will be S200002.

Material Code Batch Plant


R1 S200001 2010
P1 S200002 2010
P1 S200003 2010
P1 S200004 2010
P2 S200005 2010
R1 S200006 2010
R2 S200007 2010
R1 S200008 2010
2. Stock Transfer Between Plants (Amriya 1010 to EEPI 2010):

When transferring 50 kg of R1 with batch number S100004:

Plant 1010 will issue the goods, and 50 kg will be in transit.

Plant 2010 will receive the 50 kg. The options are:

a. let the system create a new batch for R1 based on the number available in the internal
number range in this case the new batch no will be S200009
b. receive the quantity on the already existing batch the available batchs in this case will be
(S200001, S200006, and S200008)
c. if we want to keep the batch number S100004 from plant 1010 the user will enter the batch
number manually and the batch will extend to plant 2010

Material Code Batch Plant


R1 S100001 1010
R1 S100004 1010
R1 S200001 2010
R1 S200006 2010
R1 S200008 2010
R1 S100004 2010
3. In-House Production (Finished and In-Process Materials):

a) To meet the requirement that “both printed primary and secondary packaging materials should bear the same
batch number,” which covers 90% of products:

The batch for secondary packaging materials (finished product) will be assigned after the process order
release, based on the batch determined for primary packaging (semi-finished product). After the order is
saved (released and SM batch determined), the user will press the create the batch button then the system
will create the batch automatically to match the primary packaging batch number.

Primary packaging batch: 0000100036


secondary packaging batch : 0000100036

That means that we have two types of process order types (order types with automatic internal number
range for semi-finished products and order types with custom number range for finished products as
discussed above).

b) To meet the requirement that “if the batch for a specific product is split into different sub-batches, each sub-
batch should be uniquely identified,” the user will manually add the required character to the batch number after
generation and save the order.
General Notes:
1. An external number range allows batch numbers to be created with any format for any material.

Material Code Batch Plant


R1 S100001 1010
R1 XHSFJ10SD1 1010

2. The system will not allow the creation of two identical batch numbers for the same material code within the
same plant.

Material Code Batch Plant


R1 S100001 1010
R1 S100001 1010

3. The batch number cannot exceed 10 characters.
