Manufacturing Date
During manufacturing, the date in which the process is started (manufactured date) is not always the date that the output is posted (entry date). COSMO Process Manufacturing provides the Manufacturing Date field in multiple areas for storing the actual starting date for manufacturing an item. In the Item Tracking Code page, you can choose to calculate the expiration date from the Manufacturing Date.
For item inbound processes (e.g., purchase order, warehouse receipt, etc.), the manufacturing date can be entered in item tracking lines and will be stored in the Serial or Lot No. Information on posting. If a manufacturing date already exists for a serial or lot number, the existing date is pre-populated in Item Tracking Lines and cannot be changed.
For output posting in the Production Journal, the current work date is used as default for the manufacturing date if no manufacturing date exists for the respective serial or lot number.
The fields relating to the manufacturing date are described in the following table.
| Page | Field | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Item Tracking Code > Misc. FastTab | Require Manufacturing Date Entry | Determines if a manufacturing date must be entered by a user. |
| Calculate Expiration Date from Manufacturing Date | Specifies that the expiration date for items that use this item tracking code are calculated from the manufacturing date not the entry date.
