Transformation Matrix

Module Guide: Inventory Transformation Matrix (Formula)

Inventory > Inventory Transformation > Transformation Matrix

Module Objective

The Inventory Transformation Matrix module serves as the master data hub for creating and managing the "recipes" or "formulas" used in the Inventory Transformation module. Each "matrix" created here defines the input items, output items, and their quantity ratios for a specific transformation process (e.g., rework or kitting).

1. Main View (Matrix List)

The main page of this module displays a list of all transformation matrices, recipes, or formulas that have been defined in the system.

View Explanation

• View: This page is a list of all existing formulas. You can see the Package ID (Matrix Code), Package Name (Matrix Name), and who created it.

• Action Buttons:

  • [New]: The primary button to create a new transformation formula or matrix.

  • [Change Status]: To activate or deactivate a selected formula.

2. Steps to Create a New Matrix

Step 1: Create a New Matrix

From the main page, click the [New] button. You will be directed to the Add Package form.

Step 2: Name the Matrix (Conceptual)

1. On the Add Package form, provide a unique Package Code and Package Name for your formula (e.g., "REWORK-CHOCOLATE-TO-FLOUR").

2. After saving, you will go to a detail screen (not shown) to specify:

   • Input Items: Select the items to be consumed along with their standard quantities.

   • Output Items: Select the resulting transformation items along with their standard produced quantities.

Workflow & Integrated Business Process

• This module is a preparatory and standardization step. The formula you create here will become a selection option when you use the [New From Formula] feature in the Inventory Transformation module.

• By using a pre-defined matrix, the process of recording a transformation becomes much faster, more accurate, and more consistent because the input-output ratio is already determined.

Tips & Important Notes

• Create a matrix for every standard transformation process that is frequently performed in your company.

• This is a crucial module for the PPIC and Production teams to standardize rework, kitting, or repacking processes.
