Production Drawings

The Production Drawings feature allows for the detailed setup and management of specific production drawings within the manufacturing process. This includes describing and categorizing the drawing, and linking it to standard tasks using fields like Description, Description 2, Drawing Type, Processing Type, and Standard Task Code. The feature also tracks the number of tools required for production, which are subsequently listed in the Tools subpage for easy reference.

Additionally, production drawings can be integrated into the production workflow via the Production Worksheet Routing Group page, automating the filling of relevant fields and the copying of tools to the Production Order Routing Tool table. This integration streamlines planning and ensures that all necessary drawing and tool information is readily accessible across various planning pages.

Setup

In the Wood Setup (Manufacturing) page the Production Drawing Nos. field needs to be filled.

  1. If tools are assigned to the drawing, then a picture of each tool can be added by using the Import action from the Item Picture factbox.

Importing Drawing Images

  1. Choose the Search, and navigate to the Production Drawings page.
  2. Access the Importing Drawing Images action that can be found on the Production Drawings page.
  3. The Import Drawing Pictures page will open. Here, in order to import new images, the user needs to drill-down the Select a ZIP File field.
  4. After importing the zip file, and once the images are filled in the list section of the page, it is mandatory to click on the Import Pictures action in order to save the images to their respective production drawings. If the Import Pictures action is not triggered, and the user exits the Import Drawing Pictures page, then the changes will not be saved.
Important

Each drawing picture contained in the ZIP file must be named exactly as the production drawing to which they should be assigned. Contrary, if the name of the picture does not match the Production Drawing Code field, then the import of those images will be skipped.

Production

On the Production Worksheet Routing Group page a production drawing can be selected and then automatically, if setup, the Processing Type field and Standard Task Code field is filled in and the tools are copied to the Production Order Routing Tool table. We can setup the production drawing in the Production Worksheet Routing Group page so if we have Routing No. field connected to an item which is produced, then this information is also copied to the Production Worksheet Routing Group page as well. Then in all the planning relevant pages the Drawing Code field is filled with the corresponding value and the Production Drawing Picture factbox is also availabe.
