  4. If you want to group materials with identical operations to one OMS, select the indicator Group material.
  5. Under Grouping, choose with which criteria you would like to group the materials and whether you would like to print a cover sheet per routing, work center or takt.

    6. The option Grouping defines the grouping of materials and of cover sheets.
