Handling Un-Scrapped Plants After a Job is Closed

Handling Un-Scrapped Plants After a Job is Closed

In this article

Issue Summary

During the “DESTRUCTION” Production Phase, a user attempted to cull the last plants to end the batch, but did not specify scrap before posting. As a result, the waste was posted, but the user was unable to scrap the plants in the batch or locate them afterward. The concern is that this may impact reporting accuracy.

Problem Details

  • Action Taken: Finished the job without scrapping the plants.

  • Result: Waste was posted, but plants were not scrapped and cannot be located in the system.

  • Potential Impact: Reporting discrepancies due to unaccounted plants.

Resolution / Best Practice

  1. Add a Note to the Job:

    • Document the situation directly in the job record within Business Central.

    • Include details about the missed scrapping step and any corrective actions taken.

  2. External Documentation:

    • Note the incident in your external records or logs for audit and tracking purposes.

  3. Manual Update in CTLS:

    • Manually update the CTLS (Crop Tracking and Lifecycle System) to reflect the correct plant status and ensure reporting remains accurate.

  4. Preventative Recommendation:

    • Always ensure plants are scrapped before posting the job as finished to avoid similar issues in the future.

Additional Notes

  • Once a job is finished in Business Central, scrapping actions cannot be performed retroactively on that batch.

  • Manual corrections and thorough documentation are essential to maintain data integrity and accurate reporting.
