Component Lot Trace shows which work orders consumed a selected component lot and which finished-good lots, shipments, orders, and invoices may be affected.

What this report is for

Use Component Lot Trace when you need downstream traceability from a component lot into production and customer activity. This is useful for quality review, lot holds, supplier issues, and customer impact analysis.

This report is read-only. It does not change inventory, work orders, shipments, or invoices.

What happens behind the scenes

PAX loads traceable parts with lot values and then loads lots for the selected part.

When Run Trace is selected, PAX finds the selected component inventory lot and reads work order material issue records tied to that inventory record. It then follows affected work orders to finished-good completion lots, finished-good inventory records, shipment lines, sales orders, customers, invoice lines, and invoices.

The report depends on materials being issued through How to Issue Materials and finished goods being completed with correct lots through How to Log Labor / WIP to FG.

Troubleshooting

The component lot has no affected work orders

Likely cause: The lot has not been issued to a work order, or it was not issued through the lot-aware material issue workflow.

Safe fix: Review material issue records on the related work order.

Contact support if: The lot was issued but no work orders appear.

Finished good lots are missing

Likely cause: Affected work orders have not been completed yet, or completions were posted without finished-good lot records.

Safe fix: Review the work order completion history.

Contact support if: The work order has completion lots but they are missing from the trace.

Orders are missing

Likely cause: Affected finished-good lots have not shipped yet.

Safe fix: Review shipment activity for the finished-good lot.

Contact support if: The lot shipped but the order is missing from the trace.
