Forward Trace
Forward trace starts with a material lot and follows its production consumption into product lots, shipments and affected customer records.
Traceability
Forward and backward lot research across production and shipments
Forward and Backward Trace
Following the lot chain in both directions
Backward Trace
Backward trace starts with a product lot and identifies the production order, consumed material lots, supplier lots and reception records.
References and Recall Preparation
Researching an incident without overstating recall scope
Reference Numbers
Business reference numbers connect reception, quality, production, inventory and shipment records. Interfaces should show these meaningful references instead of technical UUIDs.
Lot Research for a Recall
The live traceability area can identify affected lots and customers. A managed recall case, bulk notification, quarantine, disposal and closure workflow is planned separately.
Attention: Lot research supports recall preparation but is not an end-to-end recall-management workflow.
