Batch and serial tracing

Each batch will be displayed only once in the batch determination, if this option has been enabled (Default).  Thus recursive resolutions will be prevented.

Example:

Includes B, B includes A

This would lead to a recursive display

A -> B -> A -> B

This could occur at cancellations, incorrect bookings etc.

This option has to be disabled if a batch has to be actually used multiple times.

Example:

Assembly A

  subassembly B1

  subassembly B2

Here could be, that the same batch will be used in the subassembly B1 and B2. So the batch is used two times and will only be displayed shown only if the option "Each batch only" has been disabled.

Issues may occur at partial postings if this option is enabled, so that a batch can be displayed multiple times if this partial posting includes always in the batch. In this case "batch-assembly-level2" has been issued two times for item "batch-assembly-level1". The batch will be breakdown two time accordingly.

Setting every batch number only one time

The max. allowed levels in structure can be defined here. This is set to 15 by default.
Minimal value is 5 (beas 9.3 PL 3: 1)

Example:

A includes B

B includes C

C includes D

Would require 3 steps in total

A

|-B

|  |-C

|  |  | -D

An upper limit has to be set, so that it does not fall into a permanent loop in a recursive case (A includes B and B includes A). The higher the upper limit, the slower the program becomes at a recursive case.

It would be recommended to set the limit as low as possible for performance reasons.

Example:

An upper limit of 10 is optimal if it is ensured that a batch moves not more than 10 times from one assembly to another.

beas 9.2 (5.13) PL: 05 Variable: tracer_maxlevel, default 15

At incorrect postings the calculated result will turn out very long and the calculation will take a while accordingly.

This limit has to correspond to reality, so that the calculation takes not too long time at an incorrect case.

This is set to 200 rows by default. In most cases however 20 lines are sufficient.

Minimal value is 50 (beas 9.3 PL 3: 10)

beas 9.2 (5.13) PL: 05 Variable: tracer_maxrows  default 200
