Work In Progress / WIP Release / Job Labeling [WIP031]
This Job Labeling module is used to pre-print box or carton labels before the Parent part (stock code) is received. The labels are printed in advance and accompany the Job Cards to the production floor. They are used to mark the boxes or cartons of finished products when they come off the production line.

Note: No mobile device screen is available for this module because the labels are usually printed as part of the job card paperwork, which is required to start production. |
