Trace Fundamentals

Use these questions to prepare for the Kanoa Trace certification exam.

What does a lot record contain, and what doesn't it?

A lot has an ID, a name, an item and a unit. Its quantity, location and state come from its lot events. See Trace Fundamentals.

What's the difference between a lot operation and a lot operation event?

A lot operation is a configured type, such as Transfer. A lot operation event is one time it was carried out, and groups that occurrence's input and output lot events. See Trace Fundamentals.

What's the difference between a transfer and a transformation?

A transfer moves the same lot to a new location. A transformation consumes input lots and creates a different output lot. See Trace Fundamentals.

Why does the Ship operation not allow output lots?

Ship is an endpoint. It removes material from inventory without creating a new lot, and the shipped lot stays traceable. See Configure the Lot Flow.

What does the Inspect step in the manual flow demonstrate?

A split: one input lot produces a passed OK output and a Scrap output, and both branches stay traceable. See Run the Manual Lot Flow.

The shipped package isn't listed in Lot Manager. How do you see it?

Clear the Active checkbox to show lots with no remaining material, or trace it. See Inventory and Trace.

A supplier reports a bad batch of aluminum. Which trace do you run?

A forward trace from that aluminum lot, to find every product and shipment that contains it. See Inventory and Trace.
