How material issue works: demand, lot rules, kitting and exceptions
1. Start from the scheduled work
Pick the scheduled batches you are preparing for.
Demand can be rolled up across batches.
Choose FEFO, FIFO or a supervisor's lot choice.
- Schedule
- Work orders come from scheduling and production.
Which batches come first follows your schedule.

2. What is still needed, in whole packs
Gross demand is reduced by stock already staged.
Quantities round up to whole packs.
Each item shows gross, staged and remaining.
- Leftovers
- Part packs go back to stock under your process.
Rounding follows the pack sizes set on each item.

3. Every lot scanned onto the cart
The operator scans each lot label in Kit & Issue.
Auto-pick by FEFO is available.
Pre-kit checks are completed at the kiosk.
- Difference
- Material issue stages lots; weigh and dispense records measured quantities.
Weighing happens later, at weigh and dispense.

4. Changeovers and exceptions on the record
A sanitation break shows where an allergen changes between jobs.
Verifying without a scan needs a recorded reason.
Replacements for lost material are recorded against the work order.
- Food safety
- See food safety records for control checks.
Your allergen plan and cleaning procedure stay with your qualified people.

Manufacturing Execution Buyer Guide
Straight answers.
What buyers ask us first about Production & Planning.
Does V5 replace our planning spreadsheet?
Scheduling and MRP give planners a board and suggested orders to review. Planners still decide what to run and when.
Can operators work from a tablet at the line?
Yes. The operator kiosk runs on tablets and shows one step at a time, recording what was done as the work happens.
Which plan includes electronic batch records?
Electronic batch and device records with e-signatures start on Professional. See Compare details on the pricing page for the full list.
