Trace Stock

The Trace function allows you to support the sustainability claim of a chosen volume for a selected product from your Trading Stock volume. In addition, the trace function allows you to indicate that the traceable sustainability chain has ended for a final certified product or ingredient. Products travel through the traceability system supply chain as inventory items with no unique traceability numbers assigned to them. Only after the sustainable chain has ended will a product receive a unique traceability number. Upon tracing an item, a document is created with a unique traceability number that covers the product and volume that you have traced.

1.    Click on the Trading & Stock menu item.

2.    In the Trading Stock block, click on the Trace link for the product you wish to Trace.

3.    A Trace form will appear in a new window.

4.    Enter the volume you wish to trace and confirm that you want to trace by clicking on the notification statement box.  Please note that you can also enter some comments in the Remarks field. The remark field is a not a required field, so you can skip the field you want to proceed.

5.    Click on OK.

6.    Your stock position will be updated in your Trading Stock. Once a product is Traced, this action cannot be reversed.

7.    The transaction will also appear under the Transaction menu item in the Finalized Transactions tab. Here you will be able to print or download the transaction details in a PDF document.

The system will auto generate a Unique Traceability number for this transaction which can be used to identify the product when using a Track n Trace system. Please Note that if you are not the final product manufacturer you can pass on this PDF to your client to confirm that you have traced the certified ingredient.
