system.mes.createSublots(materialLot, sublotCount)

When an operation produces parts or finished goods that are serialized, you may consider storing them as sub-lot objects of a single material lot. Sub-lots can be traced back throughout the process and show up as a highlight on the material lot object in the Trace Graph. Creating sub-lots is more efficient than executing a process segment for each part produced, however splitting sub-lots apart later on in the process would require new material lots to be created for each sub-lot for traceability purposes.

This script function provides a method of adding sub-lots to a material lot after the operation has ended. The sublot number is automatically generated, but this can be customized by adding script to the Sublot CreateSerialNumber event.

Sub-lots can also be created at the time of the operation by using the Response Segment addSublot function. Sub-lots are stored as Sublot objects.

• Scope

All

#This code will create new material sublots for the provided material lot.
lot = system.mes.loadMESObject('Lot 1111', 'MaterialLot')
lot = system.mes.createSublots(lot, 2)
system.mes.saveMESObject(lot)
 
print lot.getChildCollection()
