Ownership & identity
Customer, inward reference, supplier / customer material reference, parent coil or batch, and linked output lot.
BATCH TRACEABILITY / INWARD TO DISPATCH
Every batch.
Its complete story.
A steel job-work batch carries more than weight. Connect its customer, specifications, process instructions, resulting lots, quality decisions and dispatch records.

Inward stage selected
01 / INWARD
Identify what arrived.
Create the inward identity before the material moves into stock. Preserve customer ownership and the original coil / batch reference.
Linked context
Gate entry, customer challan, inward / MRR record and supporting material documents.
- Customer
- Illustrative customer
- Parent batch
- ST-DEMO-001
- Material
- Steel coil · grade 304
- Dimensions
- 1.00 mm thickness × 1,250 mm width
- Incoming finish
- 2B
- Received weight
- 1,000 kg · example actual receipt
02 / PLAN
Translate the requirement into a route.
Allocate the customer batch to a job and keep the requested result alongside the source specification.
Linked context
Customer order, approved job instructions and material allocation.
- Input batch
- ST-DEMO-001
- Process route
- CTL → PVC application → inspection
- Cut length
- 2,500 mm · illustrative instruction
- Output requirement
- 2BP
- PVC instruction
- Apply film to the specified face
- Approval
- Job instructions reviewed
03 / PROCESS
Keep every output linked.
Record actual output against the input batch. A finish change creates a new output state without losing the material’s origin.
Linked context
Job record, process observations and output / scrap / balance entries. Sample weights are illustrative, not a theoretical weight calculation.
- Parent batch
- ST-DEMO-001
- Output lot D01
- 600 kg · CTL sheets with PVC
- Output lot D02
- 340 kg · CTL sheets with PVC
- Scrap
- 40 kg
- Balance stock
- 20 kg
- Reconciliation
- 600 + 340 + 40 + 20 = 1,000 kg
04 / QUALITY
Separate completion from release.
Review the output dimensions, surface condition and PVC application against the job. Material on hold remains unavailable for dispatch release.
Linked context
Inspection record and the responsible person’s hold / release decision.
- Output lots
- D01 and D02
- Checks
- Dimensions, finish and PVC application
- Required output
- 2BP · PVC on 2B finish
- Decision
- Released · illustrative status
- Hold control
- Unresolved holds block release
- Evidence
- Linked inspection observations
05 / DISPATCH
Close the physical movement trail.
Select released output lots, record packing and actual dispatch weight, and retain the connection to the customer’s inward batch.
Linked context
Packing details, dispatch / delivery challan, gate outward and linked commercial records.
- Dispatched lots
- D01 · 600 kg / D02 · 340 kg
- Dispatch weight
- 940 kg
- Original inward
- ST-DEMO-001 · 1,000 kg
- Remaining material
- 20 kg balance + 40 kg scrap
- Movement record
- Gate outward linked to dispatch
- Commercial context
- Service billing; customer material ownership retained
ATTRIBUTES THAT CARRY THE CONTEXT
The right detail.
At the right stage.
Keep the original material attributes, planned instructions and actual results distinct. Confirm which fields are required for each service during process mapping.
Steel specifications
Grade, thickness, width, source length where applicable, incoming finish and material form.
Job requirements
Shearing / CTL route, required width and cut length, quantity, required finish, PVC requirement and application side.
Actual production
Process input, resulting dimensions and finish, output quantity and actual weight, scrap and reusable balance.
Quality & release
Inspection observations, dimensional and surface checks, PVC checks, hold reason and release approval.
Dispatch & documents
Released lot, packing details, dispatched quantity and weight, challan, gate outward and linked order / service billing.
Attribute names and mandatory fields are proposed for process mapping. Sample records illustrate the intended workflow; this marketing site does not store or track production batches.
Account for the material.
Preserve its ownership.
In the illustrative batch above, 1,000 kg inward becomes 940 kg dispatched output, 40 kg scrap and 20 kg balance. Each part stays linked to the parent batch and customer. Any actual process loss, adjustment or variance needs its own recorded explanation and review.
