Create Process Codes

Production > Logistics > Process Codes

Creates the process and job codes, article numbers and the position and/or the description of the selected parts, and adds them to the logistical database. It is also possible to rearrange the assembly order by either the creation date or by the relations of the parts.

The process codes of shell plates depend on their curvature properties. See Process And Job Code Numbers for information on the appropriate settings for curved shell plates (conical, elliptic paraboloid and hyperbolic paraboloid).

Flat shell plates are handled as normal plates.

Process and job codes are defined in the System Management application, Logistics > Process and Job Codes.

For detailed information, see the following help topics in the Generating Production Information User's Guide:
