Overview
The Production Tracking → Batch Tickets submodule provides comprehensive management of batch production orders throughout their entire lifecycle. From initial creation through quality control to final completion, this system tracks every stage of batch processing with detailed status monitoring and workflow management. Batch tickets serve as the foundation of production scheduling, containing all necessary information for manufacturing including formulas, yields, special instructions, and production timing. The system automatically integrates with inventory management, quality control processes, and bottling operations to ensure seamless production flow. The submodule contains the following tabs:- Bulk Batch Functions: Perform operations on multiple batch tickets simultaneously.
- Create Batch Tickets: Generate new batch production orders.
- Tickets Before QC: Monitor batches in pre-quality control stages.
- Tickets in QC: Track batches currently undergoing quality control.
- Tickets After QC: Manage batches that have passed quality control.
- Not Complete: View all incomplete batch tickets.
- Search: Find specific batch tickets using various filters.
- View: Display batch ticket details by batch number.
Understand Batch Tickets
Batch tickets represent individual production orders that move through a defined workflow from creation to completion. Each ticket contains critical manufacturing information and tracks progress through multiple production stages.Bulk Batch Functions

Batches awaiting quality control testing and approval.
QC Delay Color Coding
- Grey: Waiting period between production and QC, item cannot be approved or rejected until the waiting period has passed.
- Pink: Item has been waiting for QC for over 30 minutes and requires fast approval.
- Red: Item has been waiting for QC for over 60 minutes.
QC Delayed
Batches experiencing delays in the quality control testing process.
QC Rejected
Batches that failed quality control standards and require rework or disposal.
Tickets After QC
Manage batches that have successfully passed quality control and are moving toward completion:Dispersed
Batches that have completed dispersion and quality control, ready for bottling operations.
Bottling Begun
Batches currently in the bottling production process.
Bottling Hold
Batches temporarily on hold during bottling operations due to equipment issues, scheduling conflicts, or other production constraints.
In Consignment
Batches in consignment status, typically for special customer arrangements or inventory management purposes.
Not Complete
