You can use different functions for selecting and ordering operations in task lists. This ensures that the operations, which you use based on your choice of task lists, represent the work steps to be executed in your company and their sequence as closely as possible.

The selection and ordering functions simplify:

• Selection of task list and operation

• Sorting of operations in the order

You must define a combination of selection and ordering functions in your system. The options available for this in the system are described in detail below:

In general, you only define the default values once in the system. Therefore, it is important that you orient yourself towards the usual procedure used within your company for selecting and including task lists and operations.

If you do not activate any default values, the task list selected by you for the order is immediately copied completely, unchanged into the order.

The following functions are also available as defaults:

If this default value is active, the system displays a dialog box after you have selected the required task list. You can now select the task list operations you require to be copied into the order.

If this default value is active, the system displays a dialog box after you have selected the required task list. Here you have a choice of all the work centers contained in the task list. After you have selected those required, the system only provides those operations that should be executed by the selected work center.

• You can only use this default value in conjunction with the function Operation selection.
• If a sub-operation should be executed by the selected work center, but the accompanying lower-level operation by a different work center, then both operations are displayed.
• You can also use this default value to change the work center for certain operations when selecting task list operations for an order.

If this default value is active, the system assigns an unbroken series of new numbers to the operations, after you have selected the required task list. The gap between the individual numbers corresponds to the increments you specified.

If this default value is active, a task list selected by you can only be included once in the same order.

• In combination with the function Operation selection, this default value ensures that for each task list selection the system only offers those operations that have not yet been included in the order you are currently processing.

• The operations of the second and every subsequent selection are placed in the order behind the previously selected operations.

If this default value is active, when the same task list is selected several times for an order, the operations you select are copied into the order in such a way that they remain in the same sequence as in the task list.
