The batch validator functionality lets you validate the correctness of data during a batch progression. You can close the batch only if there are no pending instructions.
This chapter covers the following topics:
Following is a requirement that customers have for validating the progress of their batches:
Yes. Use the batch validator to verify the completeness of defined instructions and proper information entry.
Use the Batch Validator to Report Batch Progress
The batch validator verifies task completion and highlights exceptions or mismatched information. Use the batch validator to identify the completeness of information entry and proper authority to perform various tasks in the batch. Identify exceptions rapidly for appropriate corrective action or nonconformance reporting.
The batch validator highlights any exceptions, incomplete tasks, mismatch in data, and missing information. The key features of the batch validator include:
Runtime Validation
Reporting
Complete instructions for a batch after proper verification and identify any pending instructions at all levels of a batch. Verify and mark any pending or non-disposed nonconformance against a batch. The batch validator lets you make a secured disposition on the instructions. For example, only a supervisor can dispose instructions that are pending for a batch containing hazardous materials.
The batch validator provides a paper-based reporting solution to help print the valuation output.
Run the batch validator at batch close to ensure that all the tasks are performed as stipulated in the master batch record. Trigger the batch validator automatically or manually.
Automatic mode is triggered when you try to close a batch step or the batch itself from the Oracle Process Manufacturing Process Execution application.
Manual mode is used to request batch validation from a user interface at any stage of a batch to determine whether the batch has any exceptions. This mode lets you take proactive steps to resolve exceptions and helps avoid future exceptions.
