Last reviewed: June 2026

Capture context at receiving

Traceability starts when material enters the operation, with supplier, part, package, lot, date code, quantity and storage context recorded together.

Preserve movement events

Every reservation, pick, issue, return, consumption or correction should create history instead of replacing the previous state.

Connect material to build evidence

When quality or support questions appear later, teams need a path from stock records to the build or board context affected by that material.

Frequently asked questions

What is captured at receiving?

Supplier, part, package, lot, date code, quantity and storage location are recorded together so traceability starts the moment material arrives.

Can we find which builds used a specific lot?

Yes. Lot and date-code context stays attached to movements, so material can be linked from receiving to the builds or boards where it was consumed.

Is movement history kept for audits?

Every reservation, pick, issue, return, consumption and correction creates history instead of replacing the previous state, which supports later audits.
