What’s the Problem?

Currently, the system is limited:

• One marker = one order only
• One cutting order = one order only
• Batch generation works per order

This leads to:

• Material waste
• More manual work
• Limited flexibility in real production

What Are We Improving?

We are enhancing the system to support:

• Multiple orders in one marker
• Multiple orders in one cutting order
• Bulk batch generation across multiple orders

Marker Scenarios (Supported Cases)

The system will support different real-life scenarios:

Case 1: Single Order – Single Style (Current Flow)

• One marker → one order → one style
• No changes from current behavior
• Fully automatic batch generation

Case 2: Multiple Orders – Multiple Styles (Simple)

• One marker includes multiple orders
• Each order has a different style
• No overlapping orders within the same style

👉 Batches are generated automatically without user input

Case 3: Multiple Orders – Same Style

• One marker includes multiple orders
• All orders belong to the same style

👉 System cannot auto-distribute
👉 User must assign batches manually

Case 4: Multiple Orders – Multiple Styles (Complex)

• One marker includes:
  • Multiple orders
  • Multiple styles
  • Some styles have more than one order

👉 Most complex case
👉 User must assign batches manually

Key System Changes

1. Markers Will Be Linked to Styles

• Markers will be saved by style instead of order
• Each style will have its own sizes and quantities

2. New “Markers” Page

Users can:

• View all markers
• Create markers for multiple styles
• Define sizes and quantities per style

3. Cutting Orders Support Multiple Orders

• Users can select multiple orders
• Orders appear as multiple items (pills)
• System filters markers based on selected styles

4. Smarter Calculations

• Calculates cut quantities across all orders
• Handles sizes, colors, and layers automatically
• Tracks roll consumption accurately

5. Advanced Batch Generation

• Case 1 → Same as current
• Case 2 → Fully automatic
• Case 3 & 4 → Manual assignment required

Why This Matters

• Better material utilization
• Less manual work
• Supports real factory workflows
• Scales for large operations
