Use the “Coil Split” form (also known as Quick Adjust) in Production when a lot-tracked coil is slit into another (or multiple) lot-tracked coils. Start by selecting the coil that was used by entering its lot ID, then specifying the quantity of that coil that was used. Be careful to input pounds or feet, depending on the unit of measure. If the item is tracked by pounds, and length, width, and weight were specified on the coil, the “Weight Calculator” button can be used to calculate the weight of the coil used based on the dimensions of the piece used.

Next, select the product that was made out of that coil from the list of available lot-tracked items in the “Resulting Coil” section. A new lot ID will be automatically created for you based on the original lot ID. Specify length, width, and weight, and fill in the “Qty” field, being sure to enter feet or pounds based on the unit of measure. Enter any necessary notes, and click “Finish” at the bottom of the form. If the button is red, it means some necessary data is missing. Clicking “Finish” will create an inventory adjustment in Paradigm to move inventory into the new coil. Production can also be configured to print a label for the new coil after a quick adjust is “Finished”.
