Advance in Order

(Available with Order Execution Mgt.)

Description

Advance in Order assigns the lowest rotation number in the range source to the item at a particular location in a specified region. The rotation numbers of other items in the range source are then adjusted to maintain their original order after the advanced item.

Note:

Rotation numbers must already be assigned to items in the range source by a Resequence Mode Block module earlier in the routing or output logic module. The Advance in Order function block should be added somewhere after the Resequence Range function block to advance a particular item.

The entire range source is searched for a the lowest rotation number, however, only items local to the current project are modified. You can apply this function block across multiple projects by entering a comma-delimited list of project names into the Project ID field and recompiling.

Tip: if an item has been physically pulled ahead to the first location in a region, use this function block to adjust the rotation numbers accordingly.
