Products that have an active ingredient
A product can be defined by its concentration of an active ingredient. The active ingredient of a product is modeled by using a product-specific batch attribute that has a minimum value, a maximum value, and a target level.
The target level of a batch attribute represents the estimated percentage of an active ingredient in a product. The minimum and maximum values represent the accepted deviation from the target level. For example, these values can be used as an accepted tolerance for batches at product receipt.
A product can have only one active ingredient. To specify the active ingredient of a product, you must first define a product-specific batch attribute. Then, you can associate the attribute as a base attribute of the product.
On the product level, you must also specify how the level of the active ingredient for a batch of the product should be recorded: as part of the purchase receipt process or as part of a quality order process.
To associate a base attribute with a product, the following setup is required:
The product must be batch-controlled. To make a product batch-controlled, you must assign a tracking dimension group to the product that has an active Batch dimension.
The attribute that indicates the ingredient levels must be defined as a product-specific batch attribute for the product.
You can look up and edit the actual value of the active ingredient for a batch on the Inventory batch attributes page. Select Inventory management > Inquiries and reports > Tracking dimensions > Batches > Inventory batch attributes.
