Manufacturing and Batch Traceability Network

Business challenges:

• Having complete traceability of your finished products throughout the product genealogy
• Incomplete documentation showing how the finished goods were produced
• Traceability of products across your complete in-house and extended network, including suppliers and contract manufacturers
• Analyzing product issues related to withdrawal, holds, and recalls due to inconsistent data, including missing data or broken links
• Mitigating financial, public health, and public perception risks associated with product issues and recalls

Track and report on product batches across SAP and non-SAP systems

The SAP Global Batch Traceability application provides a view on a cross-system product genealogy and its distribution. It reduces the time to insight into your product batch chain and enables rapid investigation and, when required, precision withdrawal and recall and timely regulatory reporting.
