If pausing of orders is not allowed, paused orders are no longer displayed in the order list and the entry for pausing is hidden in the context menu in the order list.

  • Automatic without material
  • Manual (Multiple Active Orders)
  • Manual (Single Active Order)

Service Mode

Enable when the line is undergoing maintenance during an order or disable when maintenance is complete.

In Maintenance mode, data collection for the order is interrupted, so that the values calculated in the Nexeed Order Management module are not distorted by maintenance work.

Restrict cancellation of order release

Activate if it should be possible to cancel the release of an order, even if production for this order has already started.

Station order creation

Select whether data for the station counter should be evaluated and displayed.

  • Configuration
    Data for the station counter is evaluated.

    Data for the station counter is not evaluated.

  • Internal
  • PSM - Installation plan - By type number
  • PSM – Installation plan – Revision status
  • ASM
  • PSM - Packaging BOM
  • PanaCIM
  • PSM - BOM - Start release

 

In the case of Internal, the bills of materials must be automatically forwarded to OrderManagement by any external system in advance. This is used, for example, if the parts lists are from Panasonic machines.

If PSM packaging BOM is selected, the setting No setup must be activated for all stations of the line so that orders can be released.

If PSM - Installation plan - Revision status is selected, the installation plan is retrieved via revision status and production version.

Orders can only be released in the Web UI if the BOM type is set to Deactivated or PSM - BOM - Start release.
