# Material Consumption

## Overview

As we need materials to create our bottles, caps and preforms, we need to make sure we have all materials in the system to create the next pallet.

In this guide we will show how to Consume materials to the lot, transfer material from one lot to the next as well as the manual process of; reprinting with the correct amount of material, returning the material, then reconsuming to the next lot.

## Example errors

When the packer presses pause on a printer and it instantly repauses this is an indication that there is an error or issue printing labels.

please visit you plants LST to view the errors below is an exmample.

http://usmcd1vms006:3000/ocp you will need to change the plant IE: usbow1, or usday1.

here you will be able to see the logs for the last 4 hours to identifty what the error/issue was encoutered.

below is an example of missing materials.

![](/img/ocp/logs.png)

as you see this lot is missing a lot of items. if the packer keeps pressing the pause button you will see quite a few of these.

To correct these errors follow each error.

-   for autoconsume items missing you will need to move materials, that are considered autoconsume to an autoconsume location.
-   for manual materials you will need to
    -   [scan](#consuming-new-manual-material-via-scanner)
    -   [lst-consume](#consuming-new-manual-material-via-lst)
    -   [transfer-to-next](#tranfer-partial-estimated-quantity-to-the-next-lot)
    -   [Reprint and consume](#manual-return-and-consume)

## Consuming new manual material via scanner.

Grab a scanner and scan the Consume non-prepared material

![](/img/ocp//consume.png)

next grab the production work order of the lot you will be running the material on.
Then scan the top barcode.

Lastly scan the cage of preforms, resin, or color you will be consuming to the lot.

## Consuming new manual material via LST.

Click on material helper on the left side bar.

Enter the lot and running number and click consume, the card also comes with basic insturctions.

![](/img/ocp//lst-consume.png)

This will do the exact same process as using the scanner.

## Tranfer partial ESTIMATED quantity to the next lot

This part is intended to be used when moving some material to the next lot.

To use this part you do not need to be logged into lst to use it.

click on the material helper.

In this card you will click the level estimated to what you will be moving to the next lot.
then you will want to add the enter the running number and the original quantity on the gaylord (or label if it was already a partial.)

label example to show where to look

![](/img/ocp/labelQty.png)

NOTE: preforms have there quantity on the label as well and you can still use the external running number(iowas perform running numebr) to move to the next lot.

Last part you will need is the lot number you will be moving the material too.

Like in the consume lst comes with basic insturctions as well.

![](/img/ocp/lotTransfer.png)

Please see example errors that you could see when utlizeing the lotTransfer card.

![](/img/ocp/e1.png) ![](/img/ocp//e2.png) ![](/img/ocp/e3.png) ![](/img/ocp/e4.png)

The below specfic and very generic error is more than likely an input error. And that could be the running number is wrong and never actually was in the system, but in the event everything was checked and you still get the error please report by entering a helpdesk ticket.

## Manual return and consume

In this section we will show how to reprint, return, and then consume to the next lot.

Things you will need

-   Scanner
-   Alplalabel (basic understanding of reprinting)
-   location barcode
-   return partial consume material barcode
-   consume non-prepared material
-   Next lot workorder

Grab your label you are wanting to move to the next lot

Note the running number and qty. you will not ever be able to reprint for more than the qty that is currenty on the label

![](/img/ocp/labelQty.png)

next open up alpla label (any version of alpla label will work for this step) and click on the reprint tab.

enter the running number you are wanting to reprint,select the printer, and change the quantity then print.

NOTE: if you see the yellow triangle like in the below example this indicates the material label is still in the system and was never consumed, you wont be able to change the qty.

please reach out to your manager or supervisor to ask for next steps on what to do.

Next take the newly printed label, a scanner, workorder, and location barcode.

scan

![](/img/ocp/returnBarcode.png)

-   Scan the unit (The label you reprinted).
-   Scan the lane (location where you will be returning this material/preforms to)

Next you will want to consume this to the next lot.
Grab the new work order

Scan
