Guiding Lot Operations

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

Do asset and item links on a lot operation stop a script from running it somewhere else?

No. They narrow the choices in Lot Manager and custom screens, but aren't database rules. See Adding Rules to Lot Operations.

Why leave Transfer and Scrap unlinked?

They happen almost anywhere, to almost anything, so restricting them would block valid work. See Adding Rules to Lot Operations.

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

The operation records what happened. The state records the resulting condition of the material on that lot event. See Lot States.

Does a route stop an operator from running steps out of order?

Not by itself. It describes the expected path; screens and scripts that read it decide how strictly to enforce it. See Routes.

Why model an LGV as a transport asset rather than a location?

Its position changes. As a transport, you can ask both what's on it and where it is, without moving every lot each time it moves. See Transports and Trucks.
