Production Batch Line

The Production Batch Line object represents the individual finished goods or Stock Items produced as part of a Production Batch. Each Production Batch Line stores production details such as the Product, Stock Item, planned quantity, actual quantity produced, production cost, inventory quantity, manufacturing date, expiry date, lot number, and Unit of Measure (UOM).

A single Production Batch can contain multiple Production Batch Lines, enabling manufacturers to record the production output for different Stock Items within the same manufacturing batch.

Why is it Used?

The Production Batch Line object is used to:

• Record the actual production output for each Stock Item.
• Track planned and actual production quantities.
• Capture manufacturing and expiry dates.
• Record lot numbers for product traceability.
• Calculate production costs at the item level.
• Convert production quantities into inventory quantities.
• Support inventory updates after manufacturing.
• Track production scrap quantity.
• Maintain production history for auditing and reporting.
• Improve manufacturing accuracy and inventory management.

Key Features

📦 Finished Goods Tracking

Records each finished Stock Item produced during a Production Batch.

📊 Planned vs Actual Production

Compares planned production quantities with the actual quantities produced.

🏷️ Lot & Batch Management

Supports Lot Numbers for batch traceability and inventory management.

📅 Manufacturing & Expiry Tracking

Stores manufacturing and expiry dates for quality control and inventory tracking.

💰 Production Cost Tracking

Captures Actual Unit Production Cost and calculates the Total Actual Unit Production Cost.

📦 Inventory Quantity Management

Converts production quantities into inventory quantities using the configured Conversion Factor.

📏 Unit of Measure Support

Supports Inventory UOM and Production UOM for accurate quantity conversion.

📉 Scrap Quantity Tracking

Records production losses or damaged units during manufacturing.

🔗 Stock Item Integration

Associates each production output with a specific Stock Item.

📈 Inventory Integration

Provides production information required for creating finished goods inventory.

Example Business Scenario

Scenario: Recording Production Output for Sedan Car Manufacturing

ABC Manufacturing Pvt. Ltd. creates a Production Batch for manufacturing Sedan Cars.

During production, the operator records the actual production details for the finished Stock Item.

Production Batch Details

• Product: Sedan Car
• Stock Item: Maruti Dzire

Production Batch Line Details

• Planned Quantity: 100
• Actual Quantity Produced: 98
• Scrap Quantity: 2
• Inventory Quantity: 98
• UOM: Each
• Inventory UOM: Each
• Manufactured Date: 15-Jul-2026
• Expiry Date: Not Applicable
• Lot Number: LOT-2026-001
• Actual Unit Production Cost: ₹8,50,000

System Behaviour :

• The Production Batch Line is linked to the parent Production Batch.
• Actual production quantities are recorded.
• Inventory quantity is calculated using the conversion factor.
• Scrap quantity is tracked separately.
• Production costs are calculated automatically.
• Finished goods become available for inventory processing.

Outcome:

• Manufacturing output is accurately recorded.
• Production costs are maintained.
• Finished goods are traceable using Lot Numbers.
• Inventory is updated with produced quantities.
• Manufacturing performance can be analyzed using production reports.

Best Practices

• Create Production Batch Lines only after creating the parent Production Batch.
• Verify the Product and Stock Item before recording production quantities.
• Record accurate Planned Quantity and Actual Quantity Produced.
• Maintain correct Manufactured Date and Lot Number for traceability.
• Enter Actual Unit Production Cost to ensure accurate production costing.
• Record Scrap Quantity to measure manufacturing efficiency.
• Verify Inventory Quantity before completing production.
• Use the appropriate UOM and Inventory UOM for quantity conversion.
• Review Production Batch Line details before completing the Production Batch.
• Regularly audit Production Batch Lines to ensure accurate inventory and manufacturing records.
