In the Genealogy application, you - as the manufacturer - can register the process steps. For each process step, you can register the products:

• For a process step with step type "Manufacturing", the consumed products (input) and the produced products (output) that are used by the CMO(s)/tenant.
• For a process step with step type "Packaging", the consumed products (input) and the produced products (output) that are used by the CMO(s)/tenant.
• For a process step with step type "Inbound External Logistics", the products that are received from the supplier(s).
• For a process step with step type "Outbound External Logistics", the products that are shipped to the client(s).
• For a process step with step type "Inbound Internal Logistics", the products that are received in the destination warehouse(s) from source warehouse(s).
• For a process step with step type "Outbound Internal Logistics", the products that are shipped from source warehouse(s) to destination warehouse(s).

To create the process steps, Serialized Manufacturing and Serialized Logistics applications must be activated and configured.

You can use the process steps to build up a process sequence in a later phase of your configuration.
