Order is a production order released from ERP system (e.g. SAP) to be executed on one of the production lines. Each Order needs to be assigned to a separate line. All activities related to the Order, such as starting the Order or generating Print Requests, are associated with the line to which the Order is assigned. So you can start the Order at any eligible labelling points on that line only, and you can even start the same Order on multiple labelling points simultaneously, if available. You cannot start the same Order on the same labelling point twice simultaneously.

In case there are generic Orders to be executed without a specific production line e.g. collecting waste materials, there are two possibilities:

●       Such Order is released for a virtual line e.g. “Waste”. There will be no association of such Order with other production lines and Orders;

●       Such Order is split in LogicPRINT into a number of Orders each one for each line. In this case, you can easily track the origin of waste.

Order Status, there are 4 statuses in LogicPRINT:

●       RELEASED – Order is released from ERP system and never was started, it can be started;

●       STARTED – Order was started in the System and is currently executed, it can be either stopped or started on a different labelling point (if any eligible is available);

●       ON HOLD – Order was started and stopped in the system, it can be started;

●       COMPLETED – Order is finished and cannot be started.

 

UNILEVER Mažeikiai, we have 4 Order Types defined:

  1. OUTERCASE: For regular production on 4 full lines and the Repack line (a finished product at the end of a line)

  2. REWORK: For ice cream mixes (an unfinished product at the beginning of a line).

  3. WASTE1: For waste collected on the lines and in other places (to be recycled).

  4. WASTE2: For faulty but edible products that can be distributed among employees.

Please note: if an order type imported from SAP via MAK165 is unknown or missing, a generic badge ORDER will be assigned.

 

Order Type.

There is possibility to define custom Order Types in LogicPRINT during implementation. Usually Order Type can be and populated from ERP system or can be recognized by the specific line to which it is assigned, e.g. “Waste” or specific SKU. It is marked with a color badge and name for easy recognition. Generic order type is green ORDER.
