Transform items manually

A Transform event documents when any traceable product item is irreversibly changed into another traceable product, either by changing its physical properties, or the modifying the way it is grouped/tracked. 

A transformation might occur when raw materials are processed into finished products, or when multiple lots of a certain product are irreversibly combined at a facility, or "co-mingled". Wholechain makes sure you'll have visibility into the inputs and outputs that comprise each of these real-world events in the traceability journey.

Here’s how to log a Transform event manually, where the output is only one item: 

1

Navigate to the Products page on the left-side menu

2

Select the product that has the item which you want to transform

3

Using the checkboxes on the left select the product item(s) you'd like to transform, and click Actions > Transform

4

An event drawer will appear on the right indicating all of the information you will need to fill in, starting with Location

5

Location: The location of where the transformation occurs

6

Input Product(s): If you wish to transform only part of an inventory item (for example, if you have one item representing an entire lot of 1000 lbs and you only pick 100 lbs of it for this processing event), edit the quantity of input product you'd like to transform. Use the “+ Add item” button to add more input items

7

Output Product(s): Select the Output Product as well as a Custom Data Template, either that you've created previously or received from a company in your Network. The Template will dictate what additional custom data will be collected and written to the blockchain for this event

8

Data Entry Method: Select the Manual option under Data Entry Method, and manually fill in the fields with the information surrounding the given transformation

9

Click Log Event on the bottom right corner. If you've transformed the input into a different product, it will automatically disappear from the input product's Current Inventory and instead appear in the Current Inventory page of the output product. If you've transformed it into the same product with a new traceability unit, you'll see it appear in the same list it started in, with its new attributes
