Multi-part jobs & locations
Why multi-part
A real order is rarely one thing. Shirts and hoodies. A front print and a back print. With multi-part jobs, each line item moves through production on its own track. The shirts can be on the press while the hoodies still wait on art approval.
The job’s overall status rolls up from its parts: the board shows you the true state at a glance, while the detail underneath stays intact.
Multi-part tracking turns on automatically when an order has more than one line item, or when any line item has multiple print locations. You don’t flip a switch, it follows from how the quote was built.
Print locations
A single line item can carry multiple print locations, front, back, left sleeve, and so on. In production, a worker completes each location independently. When every location on a line item is done, that part is complete; when every part is complete, the job is complete.
This is what lets a complicated order, multiple garments, multiple placements, move through your shop without losing track of any one piece.
Assigning the work
Parts and locations can be assigned to specific workers, so the right person picks up the right piece. Assignment happens on the Schedule and on the job itself. See Advancing stages & the worker view.
