# Transformation Matrix

### **Module Guide: Inventory Transformation Matrix (Formula)**

#### **Module Location**

#### 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.
