Lots
A lot is the smallest unit of coffee that Roasthubs tracks. It can be a big bag of green beans, a single roast batch, a ground lot, or a pack run — whatever your operation treats as one traceable batch.
Every lot is automatically given a unique ID tag when it enters the system. That ID is the thread that ties together track & trace, inventory, and quality data.
What a lot knows about itself
| Property | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID tag | Unique, auto-generated identifier |
| Recipe | What the lot is (a green coffee, a blend, etc.) |
| Zone | Which stage it currently lives in |
| Weight | Expected and actual input/output weights |
| Parameters | Quality measurements (moisture, density, cupping…) |
| Certificates | Attached documents (organic, fair trade…) |
| Genealogy | Which parent lots were consumed to create it |
| Tracks | Every physical movement it has made |
Key rules
- A lot always exists in exactly one zone.
- Parts of lots are converted from one zone to another following a recipe during a planned production.
- A lot's full history — where it came from and where it went — is always available on its detail page.
Why lots matter
Lots are the foundation of traceability. If a customer or auditor asks "what went into this bag?", the lot's genealogy answers it. If you need to recall a green delivery, lots tell you exactly which finished products were affected.
