Searching and filtering production data¶

The Search page¶

The Traceability app opens on a search page, where you can enter search parameters and look for production tracking items that typically represent a material lot/unit in the production plant.

Filtering items¶

You can filter the items displayed on the page by two different criteria. The two main filters on top can be used to search production tracking items by name or by material definition. These filters are applied automatically.

• Production Tracking Item: Represents the physical material lot the plant is producing or consuming. It can be a code, a serial number, or an SKU of a material unit.
• Material: Represents the material definition name of a specific production tracking item.

The search result shows the produced items distributed on a set of tiles. Each tile displays the item's unique identifier, the material ID and the status. The list of items is paginated: each time you scroll down, the app retrieves and displays approximately 100 additional items. The total number of items is displayed in a chip located in the bottom-right corner of the page.

Advanced Filter¶

Click the Advanced Filter button in the top-left corner of the page to open a panel where you can filter items by:

• Plant: to find the materials produced or consumed in a specific plant.
• Equipment: to find all the materials produced or consumed by a piece of equipment.
• Time Interval of Interest: to choose the time frame when the material you are searching for was produced or consumed. You can select the last WEEK, the last DAY (default) or the last HOUR before (Low Limit) and after (High Limit) the current date and time. If you select the CUSTOM option, you can choose date and time from a calendar.
• Work Order: to find all items produced for an order.
• Operation Type: to find all items that underwent a specific operation type.

Search and Display Limits¶

When you perform a Simple Search, the following limits apply:

• Pagination limit: 75 items per page.
• Maximum total items displayed: 15,000 items.

When a simple search is performed, no precalculation occurs. The system directly accesses the data using the applied filter.

When a search is performed using advanced filters, a precalculation is required. In this case, the system must first determine all items that match the search criteria.
When precalculation is involved, an additional limit applies beyond the UI display limits. While the UI specifies how many items can be displayed at a time, there is also a limit on the total number of items that can be precalculated. This precalculation limit is 500,000 items.

The above limit also applies to the advanced search performed by uploading a CSV file containing a list of production tracking items.
