Introduction
Optifacts can now automatically calculate and store an estimated production delivery date for all active jobs in the system. The calculation
will beis based on any tray track stages the job qualifies for that have not been completed yet. If there are four stations that a job must pass through to complete, we
willadd up the time assigned to each step that has not yet been completed.
Then, basedBased on the calendar days and working hours entered in the Estimated Delivery Date calendar, Optifacts
will determinedetermines which day that the job
willis estimated to be completed. If
abreakage occurs for the job, Optifacts
will assumeassumes all steps need to be reprocessed. The production delivery date
will beis stored in the job_data table as “PRODUCTION
EDD”EDD.
If” Suppose we recalculate the production delivery date, and it is different from the current stored “PRODUCTION
EDD”EDD.” In that case, we
willmove the previous “PRODUCTION EDD” record to “OLD PRODUCTION EDD” and store the newly recalculated date as “PRODUCTION
EDD”EDD.” The only trays that
will notwon’t be calculated are mailed-out jobs,
cancelledcanceled jobs, credits, bulk stock orders, Tray-Up orders with no job information yet, and jobs
that areactively
orin the queue to getting processed by the ofdemon.
Procedure
The following information will need needs to be added to Optifacts in order to calculate and store an estimated production delivery date.
Job Status Set-up
From the Optifacts main menu:
Type Select Option 11 – Retail Transfer and press enterEnter.
Type Select Option 7 - Editor: Job Status Set-up and press enterEnter.
The TNT E-mail Options screen displays.
The record above tells the jstatus program to calculate every 4 hours (240 minutes) the production delivery date for all active jobs in the system. It is recommended that the Minutes Between Transfers is not less than 60 minutes as we are recalculating all jobs every time.
Track Stages Set-Up
From the Optifacts main menu:
Type Select Option 7 – Tray Track and press enterEnter.
Type Select Option 12 - Tray Track Configuration and press enterEnter.
Type Select Option 11 - Track Stages Editor and press enterEnter.
Ensure that all stages/steps that you wish to be included in the the he time calculation have a time assigned here. The units are in hours. (Refer to the Track Stop Stages document for full instructions)
Optifacts will use the Stage time unless a Step time is defined. In the below example, Optifacts will use 3 hours when adding this time to its calculations.
If more than one record exists for the same stage and step (
iei.e., more than one tray track station qualifies to complete that stage/step), Optifacts
will useuses the
largestmost considerable time value in its calculation.
In the following example, Stage 2/Step 1 has two possible stations: 2011, which takes 6 hours, and 2013 which takes 2 hours. In this case, Optifacts
will useuses 6 hours in its calculations.
Job Data Definitions (Optional)
