Workflow Support Workstation

The workstation must be supported by the workflow of the sequence.

• Job creation

• Job edit - when editing either the workstation or sequences of the job

• Parts Available table

• Job duplication

Workstation Support Material

The workstation must support the material of the sequence.

• Job creation

• Job edit - when editing either the workstation or sequences of the job

• Parts Available table

• Job duplication

Sequence Not Scheduled or Processed on Workstation

The sequence must not have been included in a job with the same workstation before.

(New in 24.4): This rule can be turned off for a certain workstation. All you need to do, is to open the workstation settings in MES, and turn on the Allow repeated part sequence scheduling setting.

• Job creation

• Job edit - when editing either the workstation or sequences of the job. It’s important to note, that the currently edited job is not taken into account

• Parts Available table

• Job duplication

Sequence Not Scheduled or Processed in a Printing Job

When creating a printing job, the sequence must not have been included in a printing job before.

• Job creation

• Job edit - when editing either the workstation or sequences of the job. It’s important to note, that the currently edited job is not taken into account

• Parts Available table

• Job duplication

Not Too Far in the Workflow for Workstation

The workflow step that supports the workstation must be the current workflow step of the sequence or must be still placed further in the workflow.

• Job creation

• Parts Available table. Here is a little inconsistency, because we don’t apply this rule on job edit, but we do apply it when showing Parts Availalbe in sequence change drawer.

• Job duplication

Sequence Not Scheduled Within Timeslot

A sequence cannot be scheduled in two jobs that overlap in time.

• Job creation - when creating a scheduled job

• Job edit - when editing either the timeslot or sequences of the job. It’s important to note, that the currently edited job is not taken into account

• Parts Available table - if user have chosen the duration of the job while creating it, and always in sequences change drawer. It is technically possible, that while creating the job, user will add the sequence to the job and will choose the duration for the job afterwards. This can result in a situation, where the sequence would not normally be shown in Parts Available after choosing the duration, but it was already added to the job. This can lead to an error when creating the job.

• Job duplication

Sequence from Current Service

The sequence must belong to the current service.

• Job creation

• Job edit - when editing the sequences of the job

• Parts Available table

Overquantity Allowed

If overquantity is being applied, the sequence must pass several checks, such as being in the first workflow step or the job not being started yet.

• Job creation

• Job edit - when editing the sequences of the job

• Job duplication. In this context, we are not checking whether overquantity can be applied, but rather whether it was not removed in the meantime.

Order Not in Done Status

The order of the sequence can’t be already in a status of type DONE (e.g., shipped).
