Item Tracing By Timestamp

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 3,534

Hi:

Is it possible to generate a report on item tracking of lot or serial numbers by time of day (i.e., timestamp)?

If not, is such data held in a table where it can be reported on within Power BI?

Thanks!

John

    not a report but take a look at the Item Tracing Page - it achieves what you are looking for. It also has a Created On field. If thats not enough you could also just add the 'SystemCreatedAt' field to the page

    Try reading this article from Microsoft on "System Fields". Every table in BC has these fields, since you are using Power BI you maybe able to access them.

    Here is the link

    @Valentin:  

    Thank you.  But, the "Created on" field does not offer the time of day.  And, I do not see the "SystemCreatedAt" field to be added.

    Thank you!  How would I use this to access timestamps?

    @WhatWhyHow:

    Do you know what table houses the Item Tracing data?

    Thanks!

    On the issue of timestamp

    Assuming, you are NOT using on-prem BC in order for you to access information from BC cloud via PowerBI you will need to custom create an API in BC and expose those systemfields and any other fields. 

    On the issue of Item Tracing tables

    Try the following tables 
    338 = Entry Summary
    6501 = Item Ledger Entries

    They both hold Serial and Lot information 

    Good Luck

    you can get a developer to add the field to the page as it exists in the table, its not a field thats available to be added to the page by a user out of the box
