When you are ready for product to be cut, assign the users who actually cut the product to the order to keep track of work load. A warehouse manager can assign users to orders that have products that need to be cut and a cutter receives a Cut Ticket and Cut Labels when an order advances to Cutting giving them the precise cuts and lengths required for an order.
There is no authorization required for who can cut products. The system depends on user-roles defined by your company and assignments by your warehouse manager. The system does not provide notification when the manager makes the assignment. Your warehouse procedures determine where and when cutters pick up their assignments for the day.
Note: Depending on your warehouse setup, your shipping label prints at the same time as the Cut Ticket and cut labels. Open orders displaying in the cut queue will process the entire generation when the step is advanced to Cutting.
To assign a user to make cuts:
Sort the queue by order, date, or product, depending on how you prefer to assign cutters.
Select the check boxes to select the orders you want to assign.
Note: There can be multiple cuts per order. Make sure you select all the cuts for the range you are assigning. To select a range of line items, select the first row, press Ctrl and select that last row.
From the Edit menu, select Assign User. You can also right-click on the order for this option.
At the User to Assign prompt, enter the user to whom you want to assign the cuts.
Click on Advance to next Step to send the order to the cutting step.
If the cutter is not defined the system prompts for a cutter when advancing the step to Cutting.
Note: The system does not automatically save your changes.
