Testing Task Groups

After you create a task group, you can verify that the anchoring and scheduling setup will work the way you intended:

1. Navigate from Main Menu > Order Setup > Task Groups.
2. Locate the desired task group, then click Edit.
3. Click the Test Task Schedule tab.
4. At the Test Job Info section, enter dates and times, then click Test.
   
5. Review the generated schedule to verify your settings work as intended and adjust the schedule as needed.
   Note: Hover your mouse over the generated schedule to view details on how the days and times were calculated.
   
6. Click Save.

Any changes to the test schedule are transferred back and saved on the main schedule.

Testing Your Task Group Functionality

After you link a task group to an assembly line item code (LIC), aACE will generate a job to create the task group tasks when you open an order with that LIC. To verify that your new task group will function as intended, create a test order:

1. At the Orders module, create a new production order, add an assembly LIC that is linked to the task group you want to test, then save and open the order.
2. Click Management > Production.
   
3. If needed, open the overview job (i.e. the job with a Title that matches the order Title) by clicking Actions > Open.
   aACE auto-generates tasks linked to the order, based on the task group.
4. Click the Go-To chevron (>) for the overview job.
5. At the job detail view's Fulfillment tab, mark the first task as complete.
   Confirm that the next task is changed to Open status.
