Sub-Master Station Descriptions that have associated functionality or processes.

Although you can scan trays into these stations via a scanner that is not attached to a terminal, the special effects associated with the name will only work through Station Assignment.

JOB DATA ENTRY
  • This will look for job data fields associated with a given tray. All fields that have been triggered will be prompted. This allows you to edit Medicaid numbers or PO numbers after they might have already been entered.
  • This also allows a layout operator to escape out of the data prompts to allow a second station to deal with misc. data.
MRP BLOCKING
  • Forces a tray to MRP Blocking and prints a new work ticket. This is convenient if certain generator/blocker configurations require MRP blocking but the determination to use this combo is done after the Order Entry process. It also saves an operator from going back into Order Entry to recall for this one function.
SPECIFY BLOCK
  • Allows an operator to enter block sizes for a LOH blocker for a given job. Requires that you have set up the following two stations in Job Data Definitions.
    • SPECIFY BLOCK R
    • SPECIFY BLOCK L
PRICING STATION
  • This allows you to enter lite-up options that might have been missed at order entry without going back into Order Entry.
  • Will work with dependency options.
  • Will turn off a lite-up that was already on.
  • WILL NOT prompt for a frame price or any other hand price if the lite-up requires hand pricing or comment entry.
SURFACE BLOCK
  • Touches a file which will be referenced by the surfacing equipment to determine if enough chill time has passed. This allows a work-around for non-interfaced blockers, but note that itis only available through Station Assignment.
