Understanding Lot Comments

Lot comments are free-form text comments that you can use to attach pertinent information to a lot. You can enter lot comments for any operation that is set up with instructable lot comments in the base operation. Comments follow a lot throughout the blend process depending on the carry-forward option. You can enter multiple types of comments for a lot, for example, blending, general, tasting, and operations testing.

When you enter lot comments, you can classify the comment using any of the following lot comment codes from UDC 31B/CM:

Code	Description
B	Block
BL	Blending comments
CX	Error correction or lot adjustment
E	Experimental
G	General
O	Operations comments
OT	Operations testing
T	Tasting.

Using the Speed Advanced Comments program (P31B317), you enter comments for the operation and specify the rules for carrying lot comments forward. You can select one of the following options from the Lot Comment Option UDC (31B/LC):

Code	Description
A	No carry forward.
B	Carry forward to all lots.
C	Carry forward if contributes.
