You use this program to produce free-format documentation from existing jobs, or dummy jobs for finished parts defined within a structure.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Print/Send | Prints the factory documents according to the Report Options and emails the information displayed in the WIP Factory Documents pane. |
| Alignment | This prints the relevant document using test characters to verify that your stationery is correctly aligned in your printer. This typically applies when using pre-printed continuous stationery. |
| Emails the information displayed in the WIP
Factory Documents pane, once processing is
complete. If you enable this option for a program included in automation, then the workstation running the automation must have MSOutlook installed with an active and working profile defined. |
|
| Save Form Values | This option is only enabled in Design mode (Automation Design). Your selections are saved and applied when the
program is run in automated mode. Form values and defaults are applied at operator level. They are not saved at role or group level. |
These options enable you to indicate the criteria according to which the factory document(s) must be generated.

| Reprint | Select this to reprint factory documents previously printed. | ||||||||
| Include stocked jobs | Enable this to include jobs for stocked parent items on the factory documents. | ||||||||
| Include non-stocked jobs | Enable this to include jobs for non-stocked parent items on the factory document.s | ||||||||
| Include completed allocations | Enable this to include allocations which are complete when printing the factory documents. | ||||||||
| Include allocations with no outstanding | Enable this to include allocations with zero outstanding against the job when printing the factory documents. | ||||||||
| Jobs | Indicate the job(s) for which to generate the factory documents. | ||||||||
| Parent stock codes | Indicate the parent stock items for which to include jobs. | ||||||||
| Job classifications | Indicate the job classification(s) for which to include jobs. | ||||||||
| Warehouses | Indicate the warehouse(s) for which to include jobs. This is the warehouse in which the parent stock code is located. | ||||||||

| After processing completed |
These options are displayed within programs that can be automated. They enable you to indicate the action you want to perform once processing is complete (see Automation Design). |
Use this grid to indicate the finished stock codes or sub-assembly part currently defined for which you want to print documentation. This only applies when you enable the Dummy jobs option in the Report Options.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Stock code | Indicate the finished item or subassembly for the job. |
| Stock code description | Displays the description of the Stock code for identification purposes. |
| Rev | Enter the revision of the finished item or subassembly, if the item is ECC-controlled. This is not required when ECC Stock control level is set to Stock code (Bill of Materials Setup). |
| Rel | Enter the release of the finished item or subassembly, if the item is ECC-controlled. This is not required when ECC Stock control level is set to Stock code (Bill of Materials Setup). |
| Job | Enter the job number to assign to the details being captured. |
| Job description | Enter a description for the dummy job. |
| Quantity to make | Enter the quantity of the finished part that must be made. |
| Delivery date | Indicate the expected delivery date for the job. |
| Customer name | Indicate the name of the customer linked to the dummy job. |
This pane displays the results of the processing function you selected once processing is complete (unless you selected the option to close the application from the After processing completed section).
The Work in Progress Allocations file (created at the time of adding a job) is used as the source of information and contains details relating to all the materials and operations required for the assembly of finished parts.
When printing material allocations for Dummy jobs, the warehouse defined against the Bill of Material structure is printed. If a warehouse is not defined in the Bill of Material structure for the component, then the warehouse to use defined against the stock code is printed.
If you enabled the option: Structure sequencing required (Bill of Materials Setup) then material allocations for a job are printed in the correct structure sequence.
Before you can run this program you need to define a format for your factory documentation (Factory Documentation Format).
The report is only generated when you select to Include stocked jobs and/or Include non-stocked jobs.
When reprinting online, the document can only be reprinted using the same document format used when the document for the job was initially printed. Therefore printing all jobs using a different document format would not reprint documents for all the jobs.
You can only print/reprint confirmed jobs that are not complete.
The Use SQL Driver option (selected within the Maintain SRS Document Templates program) cannot be used for Factory Documentation.
