Delta printing is only intended for operations that do not yet have the status
Printed
.
You can only use delta printing if it is available in your system. Therefore, your system administration must have made the appropriate Customizing settings.
Note
Operation Status
An operation obtains the status
Printed
from the system as soon as a shop paper, for which the indicator
Operation status
has been set in Customizing, is printed for it.
If the indicator
Operation status
has not been set in Customizing for any of the shop papers, the system can never give the operations the status
Printed
. If you then use delta printing, the system reprints the shop papers for
all
the operations.
Order Status
An order only has the status
Partly printed
if its operations already had the status
Printed
when a new operation was added.
Proceed in the same way as when printing for the first time. Refer to Printing Shop Papers .
However, in the
Select Shop Papers
dialog box, select the field
Delta
for the papers you require.
The following cases can occur:
Shop papers are printed for order operations that do not yet have the status Printed .
Shop papers are not printed for order operations that already have the status Printed , even if they were not printed during the print operation, for which the status was set for these operations.
Note
If required, you can change the delta print during the run-time to produce a complete printout. To do this, deactivate the
Delta
field.
When you execute a delta print:
Only new operations, in other words, operations that have not yet been printed, appear on the job ticket and the control ticket
Time tickets are only printed if they have not been printed before
Components are only printed if they have not previously been printed on the component slip (for example, the material withdrawal slip)
The printed papers are flagged as delta printouts
If you have changed the specifications in the fields
Quantity
or
Work
for printed operations, the system does
not
remove the
Printed
status.
