### Overview

The EDI ANSI X12 947 – Materials Issued transaction is a specialized use of the standard 947 Inventory Adjustment message, used to communicate the issuance of raw materials, components, or packaging from inventory to production. It is typically sent by internal manufacturing sites, contract manufacturers (CMOs), or third-party logistics providers (3PLs) to brand owners or upstream partners to confirm that materials have been issued for manufacturing or packaging activities.

With TraceLink’s OPUS Platform and B2N Integrate-Once™ architecture, the EDI ANSI X12 947 – Materials Issued transaction delivers real-time material issuance data, enabling accurate inventory reconciliation, proactive replenishment, and full traceability across complex supply chains.

### Key Use Cases

- Report raw material and component usage during production at CMOs or internal manufacturing sites.
- Reconcile inventory balances by subtracting consumed quantities from stock.
- Enable real-time visibility into material depletion for supply planning and replenishment.
- Support serialization and lot tracking for traceable product components.
- Comply with regulatory requirements for material accountability in pharmaceutical and other regulated industries.
- Facilitate production cost tracking and batch-level material reconciliation.

### Data Elements Included

An EDI ANSI X12 947 – Materials Issued transaction includes:

- **Transaction Set Purpose Code:** Indicates the reason for the transaction (e.g., issuance to production).
- **Material Identifiers:** Unique product codes such as GTIN, SKU, NDC, or internal part numbers.
- **Quantity Issued:** The amount of material issued from inventory for production use.
- **Issuing Location:** Warehouse, storage area, or 3PL facility from which the material was issued.
- **Production or Work Order Reference:** Identifies the specific manufacturing batch or job that the materials were issued to.
- **Lot/Batch Numbers or Serial Numbers:** Tracks the specific inventory units issued, ensuring traceability.
- **Date/Time of Issuance:** When the inventory was issued to production.
- **Inventory Status Code:** Indicates the condition of the issued material (e.g., available, quarantined, quality-approved).
- **Reference Numbers:** Links to related purchase orders, inventory movement documents, or internal stock requests.

### Benefits of EDI ANSI X12 947 – Materials Issued

- Improves production readiness by confirming that required materials have been issued and are available at the production line.
- Enhances inventory control by updating stock levels in real-time when materials are moved out of inventory.
- Supports proactive replenishment by providing early insight into material usage trends before consumption.
- Enables accurate work order tracking by linking issued materials to specific production batches or jobs.
- Strengthens traceability by capturing lot or serial numbers at the point of issuance.
- Improves collaboration with CMOs and warehouse partners by automating issuance updates across systems.
- Reduces manual errors and delays by eliminating paper-based issuance logs and spreadsheets.

### How TraceLink Supports EDI ANSI X12 947 – Materials Issued

TraceLink’s OPUS Platform, powered by the B2N Integrate-Once™ architecture, delivers a scalable and secure solution for managing material issuance across global manufacturing and logistics partners:

- Real-time integration with ERP, WMS, and MES systems to capture and share material issuance events as they happen.
- Automated linkage of issued materials to production or work orders, ensuring alignment between inventory and manufacturing execution.
- Location-specific issuance tracking, enabling visibility into which site or staging area issued the materials.
- Secure and auditable data exchange for serialized and lot-controlled materials, supporting regulatory compliance.
- Dashboards for monitoring issuance activity, material readiness, and production line support across multiple facilities.
- Global partner enablement via B2N Integrate-Once™, allowing you to connect once and collaborate with all CMOs, 3PLs, and internal sites without custom integrations.
