This document outlines the rules applied when deciding if a part should be shown in the 'Parts Available' section during job creation or editing. These rules ensure that only those parts that are truly available for scheduling are displayed.
Rule name | Explanation | When applicable |
|---|---|---|
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 |
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 |
Sequence Not Scheduled or Processed on Workstation | The sequence must not have been included in a job with the same workstation 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 |
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 |
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. |
Sequence Not Scheduled Within Timeslot | The sequence can’t be already placed in another job within a timeslot. | 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. |
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 |
Order Not in Done Status | The order of the sequence can’t be already in a status of type DONE (e.g., shipped). | Job creation Job edit - when editing the sequences of the job Parts Available table |
MesPart Not Deleted | The MesPart linked to the sequence can’t be deleted. | Job creation Job edit - when editing the sequences of the job Parts Available table |
Sequence Not Scrapped | The sequence can’t be scrapped. | Job creation Job edit - when editing the sequences of the job Parts Available table |
Sequence Not in the Last Step | The sequence can’t be currently placed in the last workflow step. | Job creation Job edit - when editing the sequences of the job Parts Available table |
Sequence Found | The sequence must exist in the system. | Job creation Job edit - when editing the sequences of the job Parts Available table |
