Solar modules
Solar modules: the lot, the line, and the module that shipped
A module lot combines cells, glass, and a line result. Yield loss and a rework are often a shift note. The lot that shipped should already say which material lots and which modules.
A downgraded module is not the same cost as a prime module.
What the open lot has to show
- Cell and material lots on the module lot.
- Prime, downgrade, and scrap counted before the lot closes.
- The shipment tied to those module identities.
That is the same kind of gap as seeing the work while it is still open and quoting from a current cost.
The week the record is late
The shift downgrades a stack. The customer order is still planned as all prime. The downgrade is found when the pallets are staged.
Class the modules before the order promises them. MFGMAX Heavy Metals holds that record. Accounting can stay where it is. Other systems can connect. What moves, and when, is shown before you commit.

Questions
What should stay on the open lot?
Cell and material lots on the module lot. Prime, downgrade, and scrap counted before the lot closes. The shipment tied to those module identities.
When should the lot be compared with the quote?
While it is still open. A count after invoicing explains a loss. It does not give the material or the hours back.
What does MFGMAX connect this to?
