Implemented controls

Control on formula version and production formula

The system checks that the components to be dispensed have the following setups:

• Batch and sub-batch managed.

• Tolerance value is greater than zero for Weighing, Counting by weighing and Weighing by difference dispensing types, if the Enable lower/upper limit parameter is disabled.

• Lower limit value is lower than quantity, if the Enable lower/upper limit parameter is enabled.

• Upper limit value is filled in and not lower than quantity, if the Enable lower/upper limit parameter is enabled.

• Estimated lower limit value is lower than estimated quantity, if the Enable lower/upper limit parameter is enabled.

• Estimated upper limit value is filled in and not lower than estimated quantity, if the Enable lower/upper limit parameter is enabled.

• Reference part weight, Unit, APW determination, Minimum reference parts, and APW deviation for Counting by weighing dispensing type.

Sub batch status

The system checks the properties of the identified sub-batch as follows:

• The sub-batch exists in the system.

• The sub-batch belongs to the item.

• The sub-batch belongs to the reserved batch, in case the reservation for the item is at the batch level.

• The sub-batch matches with the reserved sub-batch, in case the reservation for the item is at the sub-batch level.

• The sub-batch is not marked as empty.

• The use code of the sub-batch is suitable for the Intended use code of the dispensing order line, based on the Approved use code check method at the item level.

• The sub-batch is not ?Stopped?.

• The batch disposition code that the sub-batch belongs to is not blocked for production picking.

• The inventory dimensions of the sub-batch match with the inventory dimensions of the dispensing order line (applicable only in case of a manual dispensing order).

• The inventory on-hand of the sub-batch is greater than zero.

• The sub-batch is not expired.

Life Sciences Weighing and Dispensing module

Batch ID

The system checks the correspondence between the reserved batch and the dispensed batch.

Life Sciences Weighing and Dispensing module

Item ID

The system checks the correspondence between the component to be weighed and the picked component.

Life Sciences Weighing and Dispensing module

Instruments control

The system checks the accuracy of all the instruments used for weighing operations and prevents users from using instruments not compliant with the standard behavior.

Life Sciences Weighing and Dispensing module

Electronic signature

The system checks that the credential of the user signing the task is correct.

Life Sciences Weighing and Dispensing module

Second person verification

The system checks that the credential of a second user is correct and different from the user executing the operation.

Life Sciences Weighing and Dispensing module

On-hand quantity adjustment

The system checks the on-hand quantity of a sub-batch completely used and automatically adjusts the quantity when necessary.

Inventory management

Request for adjustment

The system checks if the weighed quantity is more than the maximum available quantity for the batch/sub-batch (sum of reserved quantity and available on-hand) and returns a warning message if the quantity is partially reserved for another order.

Inventory management

Empty sub batch

The system checks if a sub-batch is declared empty and the quantity to adjust out is reserved against other orders.

Inventory management

Dispensing operation execution

The system checks that there is no work line for the same Lot ID of the selected dispensing order line which Work status is Open or In process.

Control on formula version and production formula

The system checks that the components to be dispensed have the following setups:

• Batch and sub-batch managed.

• Tolerance value is greater than zero for Weighing, Counting by weighing and Weighing by difference dispensing types.

• Reference part weight, Unit, APW determination, Minimum reference parts, and APW deviation for Counting by weighing dispensing type.

Production control

Manufactured product batch and status of a reserved batch

The system checks that the batch of manufactured products has been generated and reserved batches are available for picking before releasing a batch order to Life Sciences Weighing and Dispensing.

Production control

Control on formula version, production formula, sales order lines, transfer order lines, and dispensing order lines

The system checks that the components to be dispensed have the following setups:

• Batch and sub-batch managed.

• Tolerance value is greater than zero for Weighing, Counting by weighing and Weighing by difference dispensing types, if the Enable lower/upper limit parameter is disabled.

• Lower limit value is lower than actual quantity, if the Enable lower/upper limit parameter is enabled.

• Upper limit value is filled in and not lower than actual quantity, if the Enable lower/upper limit parameter is enabled.

• Reference part weight, Unit, APW determination, Minimum reference parts, and APW deviation for Counting by weighing dispensing type.
