How do I track how materials are issued to jobs?

As part of the manufacturing process, it is critical to identify the precise lots that go into production from a raw material standpoint, as well as to document the finishes of a product with real-time visibility. Most of our customers perform these processes using scan guns and the Deacom Warehouse Management System (WMS).
