Currently, the system supports adding one or more markers to a single production order. This article explains the steps for adding a new marker to a production order, along with the data required to complete the addition.

How to Add a Marker to a Production Order:

• Ensure that the appropriate permissions are assigned to users for adding markers through the Permissions page.
• Go to the Production Orders page (Production Management > Production Orders).
• Right-click on the desired production order.
• Select "Add Marker".
• To add a new marker, click the "+" button.
• Enter the required data for the marker.
  

Add a Marker

Required Data:

• Marker code (must be unique).
• Length (enter the length of the marker in meters).
• Width (enter the width of the marker in centimeters).
• Marker efficiency (enter the efficiency percentage of the marker as a percentage).
• Size ratios (combine all sizes of the production order in the "Number of Pieces/Size Ratios" column. You can show or hide the sizes by clicking the arrow ">").

Ensure that you enter the number of pieces for each size present in the marker. At least one size must be entered.

The total number of pieces in the marker is calculated in the "Number of Pieces" column after entering all marker data.

• Type:
  • Single: pieces in the marker are whole pieces.
  • Double: pieces in the marker are half pieces (two layers need to be cut below the marker to get a complete piece).
• Allowance (percentage/length of the allowance between the marker and the layer below it).
• Base (defines whether the marker will be used to cut basic pieces or not. The system does not count pieces produced from non-basic cutting orders that use this marker, and these pieces cannot be added to bundles — they are added only to track fabric consumption).
  

Marker Data

Managing Marker Data:

• Marker images can be added using the image upload icon in the Settings column.
• The user can modify marker data if it has not been used in cutting orders in the past, by double-clicking on the field to be edited.
• The user can delete a marker if it has not been used in cutting orders, by clicking the delete icon in the Settings column.

Ensure that the appropriate permissions are assigned to users for deleting markers through the Permissions page.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

• Can I add more than one marker to the same production order?

  Yes, the system supports adding one or more markers to the same production order as needed.

• What is the difference between the "Single" and "Double" types?

  In the "Single" type, each piece in the marker represents a whole piece. In the "Double" type, each piece represents a half piece, since two layers below the marker must be cut to get one complete piece.

• Can I edit marker data after adding it?

  Yes, you can edit marker data by double-clicking on the required field, as long as the marker has not already been used in cutting orders.

• Why can't I delete a certain marker?

  A marker cannot be deleted if it has already been used in cutting orders. You must also have the appropriate delete permission through the Permissions page.
