You enter the batch number and see origin and destination.
The solution

You enter the batch number and see origin and destination.

More explanation

The traceability report shows on the left where the batch came from and on the right where it went, with the number of batches and orders involved.

Every production run remembers which batches went into it.
How it works

Every production run remembers which batches went into it.

More explanation

The production run shows the new batch and its best-before date, and for each raw material the batch that was used. Nobody has to make that link afterwards.

An answer, with a report to back it up.
