Creating Travelers
Work order travelers are physical documents that convey manufacturing information to shop floor operators. The Advanced Manufacturing SuiteApp includes a modifiable traveler template in Advanced Manufacturing > Documentation File Folders > Templates.
Use batch travelers when batch operations require multiple batches and one partial batch to complete the work order.
To create a traveler:
-
Go to Advanced Manufacturing > Administration/Setup > Traveler Configuration > New.
-
To identify the document type, enter a unique Traveler Name. For example, Template Traveler.
-
Enter the NetSuite file cabinet Folder Name to save the document to. For example, AM Travelers.
-
Enter the traveler Sort Order display number for advanced manufacturing lists.
-
In the Script Name field, enter the scheduled script ID required to produce this type of document.
For example, customscript_batch_traveler for batch traveler and customscript_template_traveler for template traveler.
-
In the Doc Type field, enter one of the following:
-
Work Order – The script produces documents for a list of work orders.
-
Work Center – The script produces documents for a list of work centers.
-
-
In the Parameter Prefix field, enter the string that identifies the scheduled script parameters.
For example, batchtrv for batch traveler and tmptrv for template traveler.
-
In the Custom Templates Folder field, enter the custom templates file cabinet folder path.
If you are using the customscript_template_traveler script, you can modify the standard document production XML templates. You must provide a copy of all templates even those not modified. Copying the XML templates to another folder protects your changes from future bundle updates.
