Printing Job Labels

Background

At various points in the production life-cycle you may need to place picked stock temporarily into boxes ahead of it being used in future production processes.

In order to quickly identify what job order the boxed stock is for, it is necessary to label the boxes.

Rather than manually write this information, job labels can be printed from within strokeone and attached to the boxes

About this task

This topic will instruct you how to print off job labels

Note:

1. This topic does not instruct in how you physically attach the labels as the standard / procedures to do that are external to strokeone and likely to vary according to your internal workflow and working practices.

Prerequisites

3. Once you have entered the number of boxes, click OK
   
   
4. A print preview of the job label(s), will be generated

• Job Name (concatenation of Job Description and Category)
• Box Number X of Y, where X is the individual box number in the sequence, and Y the number of boxes entered in step 2)
• Note, that the preview will include a rendering of each box label, so if you entered 15 boxes, you will see 15 renders, each separated by box number
• Whether the corresponding stock was Complete pick or Part Pick
