# Job Order Batch

### **Module Guide: Job Order Batch (Assign/Update Batch Number)**

#### **Module Location**

#### Production > Work Order > Job Order Batch

#### **Module Objective**

#### The **Job Order Batch** module functions as an interface for assigning or updating batch numbers on existing Work Order documents. This is a crucial step to ensure product **traceability** from the start to the end of the production process. Every change made here will be recorded in an audit log.

### **1. Main View (Work Order List)**

#### The main page of this module is an interactive list that displays all Work Orders, allowing you to manage their batch numbers directly.

#### **View and Key Column Explanation**

- #### **View**: This page is a list of all Work Orders that you can filter by **Work Order Number** or **Date**.
- #### **Input Columns**:
    
    
    - #### **Old Batch**: Displays the previous batch number (if any).
    - #### **New Batch**: This is the main input column. This is where you type the new batch number for the Work Order.
- #### **Action Buttons**:
    
    
    - #### **\[New Batch\]**: Likely used to generate a new batch number automatically by the system.

### **2. Steps to Change a Batch Number**

1. #### **Find the Work Order**: Use the filters at the top to find the Work Order whose batch number you will assign or change.
2. #### **Input the New Batch Number**: On the corresponding Work Order row, type the correct batch number into the input box in the **New Batch** column.
3. #### **Save Changes**: After finishing, save the changes (possibly via an unseen button or an automatic save after entry).

### **3. Change History (Log Update)**

#### Every time you change a batch number, the system will automatically record it in the **Batch UPDATE LOG** for audit purposes.

#### This log will display the **JO Code (Work Order), Old Batch, New Batch, Changed By,** and **Last Change**, so all changes can be traced back.

### **Tips & Important Notes**

- #### The accuracy of the batch number is crucial for the **quality control (QC)** process, inventory tracking, and in the event of a **product recall**.
- #### Ensure the batch number being input is unique and follows the company's numbering standards.
- #### This module is an important work tool for the **PPIC Admin and Production Supervisors**.
