SHOW ONE LINE ON PARTS LIST FOR LOT CONTROLLED ITEM?

We use Lot Control in our factories to track which Slit Coils (by Lot Number) were used to make each particular WO of our finished product (Steel Tube). Our orders will call for hundreds of Slit Coils, so we don't want to have them all displayed on the WOrk Order Parts List. However, we can find no option for this. Our COmmitment Method in Manufacturing Constants is: Split-don't CRoss Branch Boundaries, Soft, Hard when Printing. We need this for the rest of the items in the same branch plant. However, this means we get one line on the Parts List per Lot Number. We will rarely issue the exact lots allocated to the Parts List by the Location with Most Quantity due to physical storage and movement constraints. THe problems having multiplelines on the parts list cause are: 1) WOrk ORder documents are many pages long due to the ridiculously long parts list, 2) Issuing the Manterial to the WOrk Orders is a pain as we have to change the lines on the parts list to match the actual Lot Number Slit COil delivered. What we would like is to know if there is a way to have only one line on the parts list, without changing the Manufacturing COnstants for COmmitment COntrol as we need these settings for WMS to operate.

There was a Similar Case# 200947368 on the knowldege garden, but no comment on the action.
 
Hi Dazza,

Did you think about omitting lot control on Slit Coils?

If you rarely issue the exact lots the system suggest, you don't need to see lots in JDE. You can trace the lots in real life only, you don't need to carry them into JDE.

This is just my opinion, of course.
 
Hi Ali

Unfortuntately we are required to Track the Lots of material we used on each Work Order. We don't need to pre-assign which lot to use, but we do need to track which lots we did use.
 
If you don't want to print numerous lines in WO, there is a processing opti on of R31410 (printing WO program) for this purpose. Anyway you will have t o issue the all lots allocated.
It will solve the first problem, but the second one will go on.

Hi Dazza,

What you actually want is to hard commit on the moment of issue, so not
at the moment of printing. You also indicate that you do not want to
change the commitment method setting (hard when printing), because of
WMS, why is that?
