Manufacturing Stock Entry aggregates identical material rows instead of preserving batch-wise rows

In our ERPNext v16.21.1 process, the same raw material may be issued from multiple batches across separate rows, for example half from one batch and half from another.
However, in the Manufacturing Stock Entry, ERPNext aggregates these rows into a single material consumption line and does not preserve the batch-wise breakdown.

This is a problem for our ISO/GMP inspection requirements, where we need the WIP issue to remain in separate rows exactly as transferred from the warehouse.
Also, since the Transfer Material Stock Entry is not linked to the Manufacturing Stock Entry, the batch traceability is lost.

Is there a way to:

  • link these two Stock Entries together, or

  • prevent ERPNext from merging identical rows in the Manufacturing Stock Entry?

You need customization

Hi @elizaso1991

Maybe you can raise a github feature request at Issues · frappe/erpnext · GitHub

Hi @mihir-kandoi

Would it be possible for Frappe to spin-off a seperate app for Manufacturing, sub-contracting, quality, projects, etc.. and leave the core general business requirements in ERPNext (Accounting, Selling, Buying, Stock, Assets, etc..). These would be common to any single business all over the world

Thanks

The merge will use Serial and Batch Bundle if I am not mistaken, correct? Are you sure it loses traceability?
