A product is more than just a finished item sitting on the shelf. It's the end result of efforts and materials from multiple suppliers,processing facilities, farms and other ingredient sources.
Use this tool to view the manufacturers, suppliers, and other parties that provided the ingredients making up the batch or lot of a produced item. Preliminary results list the basic batch/lot information, such as the manufacturer, last store or distribution center, quantity and production date.
Clicking through the Produced Item provides the materials list and ingredient chain making up the item.
The Batch/Lot Number link lists the items and facilities receiving ingredients produced in that lot.
You can search for items based on the primary supplier to your store or distribution center, or you can research items from suppliers providing item ingredients. Advanced search options include searching by facility, production dates and shipment tracking identifiers.
Under Track & Trace > Research, click What product and who produced it?
Choose the search extent:
My Products. Search for items in your ReposiTrak catalog.
Products of Immediate Suppliers. Search for items from suppliers, manufacturers or shippers that directly provide you with products or product ingredients. This is referred to as "one back" tracing against the previous tier in your supply chain.
For example, if you process breaded shrimp, this option lists items from businesses that directly supply you with breading and shrimp.
Products of any Supplier in Supply Chain. Search across all your supply chain tiers for items from producers that directly or indirectly provide you with ingredients or products. Note that Advanced Search Criteria is not available from this option.
Using the breaded shrimp example, this option not only includes items from your breading and shrimp providers, it includes the wheat flour and salt items from providers supplying your breading manufacturer.
