AX7 T&A: Document groups


When working on the Job card terminal or Job card device you are able to access attachments to the orders you’re working on. This is done by clicking the attachment button/menu item.

This is done by configuring the Document Groups (Production Control > Setup > Document Groups).

Simply add a new record, select the document types and add the users who will view the different documents.

Selecting “Reading required” in the document types section will prompt the user with a dialogue when starting the production.

All done!

The system will now look on the production order as well as on the item to aggregate the attachments!

When opening the attachments in the job card forms you will get this nice view:

  1. Hi Fredrik,
    I have tried this functionality using attached documents on the variant of the item. Unfortunately, those attached documents are not shown in the instructions on the job card terminal. Do you think it is by design? Or am I missing a setup?
    Thanks,
    Estelle.

    1. I haven’t tried it out my self, but this does sound like a missing feature and probably not by design. This feature is just not extended to take that into account, so I guess it would be something that could/should be added.
      Please go to the ideas portal and add this as a suggestion there.
