If you need to order and cut products in parallel groups, such as bundled wire, you may need to duplicate a cuttable product group. The system requires that each parallel cuttable group stays together throughout the order entry, cutting, and processing. Therefore, each parallel cut, on a single order, must have a unique cuttable group assigned. For example, if you have two sets of parallel products on a single sales order or transfer, you need a unique parallel group for each set so you can schedule each set according to the customer's requirements on the order.
Note: You can add cut groups for a single order in Sales Order Entry, if needed.
To duplicate a cuttable group:
Display a current order for which you need to duplicate the product group.
Select the cut product line item, then from the Line Item menu, select Cut Product Entry to display the Cut Product Entry Window.
Enter the line item you want to copy with the parallel group assigned.
On the next line item enter the same item with the updates cuts or lengths and select the same parallel group.
Select the new group to use.
