4. Optional: If you are using a label layout with modifiable fields, enter content that should be printed on each field.

Results

You have started production on a production line.

What to do next

• Create a new production line.
• Import master data.
• Stop production on a production line.

3 - Stopping Production on a Production Line

Before you begin

• You are assigned to a user group that at least has the permission Manual loading production data and the permission to manage the selected production line.
• You have a production line with an active production.

About this task

If you want to assign a different product or production order to a production line, you must first stop the current production on that production line.

Procedure

1. In the side bar, click Production.
   The view Production Lines opens.
2. Click the settings icon … on the production line on which you want to stop the production.
3. Click Stop.

Results

You have stopped production on a production line. The product or production order is removed from the production line in the overview.

What to do next

• Prepare production on a production line.
• Manage master data.
