Efficiently Managing and Printing Purchase Order Batches
Introduction
This guide provides a detailed walkthrough on managing and printing purchase order (PO) batches using the FDC system. By following these steps, you will be able to effectively prepare and print garments or transfers even before the physical items arrive. The process includes navigating through inventory, utilizing PEO numbers, and creating job batches for seamless printing.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Accessing the Purchase Orders
To begin, navigate to the inventory and open the purchase orders section. From there, switch to the new tab for FDC to view all incoming purchase orders.
Pre-Planning for Incoming Orders
You can plan for incoming orders by preparing print batches ahead of their arrival. This allows you to match them up once they are physically present.
Focusing on PEO Numbers
The primary focus in the print batch section is the PEO numbers. These numbers will guide the association of jobs and garments that need to be printed.
Matching Garments with Jobs
The system automatically matches garments required for jobs with the corresponding PEO numbers, ensuring seamless integration once the garments arrive.
Printing Garments or Transfers
You can print the necessary garments or transfers in advance, even if the physical garments are scheduled for a later arrival.
Grouping PEO Numbers
Depending on the size and arrival time of the orders, you can choose to group PEO numbers. This is often based on personal preference or logistical considerations.
Loading and Viewing Jobs
Once you have grouped the PEO numbers, load the jobs to see all available tasks that need to be completed.
Managing Batches
Navigate to the manage batches view to see the single and multi-batches that have been created from the PEOs.
Reassigning Batches
You have the flexibility to reassign batches to different employees or machines based on the setup and printing needs.
Starting the Printing Process
Once the batches are assigned, employees can log in and begin the printing process.
Conclusion
By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can efficiently manage and print purchase order batches using the FDC system. This process allows for the pre-planning and timely matching of garments with jobs, ensuring a smooth workflow and readiness for production as soon as the items arrive.
