Set Order Of Batches (Planning Menu) - Siemens SIMATIC BATCH Operating Manual

Context help references
14.2 BCC menu commands
The display is updated dynamically.
Note
Depending on the status, batches are transferred from the Planning list to the Status list, for
example, or from the Status list to the Results list. But these batches also initially remain in
the currently open list. They do not disappear from the corresponding list until the next time
the list is opened.
Batch control
When you select a batch and right-click, the shortcut menu offers control commands
appropriate for the context.
Filter mechanism
Each table column contains a filter cell. You can enter a filter criterion in these filter cells to
limit the display to specific batches. You can use the "*" and "?" characters as placeholders.
The question mark is a placeholder for any character and the multiplication sign for any
character string. Example: ?a*. Shows, for example, all orders with an "a" as the second
character in the name. This filter mechanism is not case-sensitive.

Set order of batches (Planning menu)

Opens a dialog for chaining batches. You specify whether a batch is chained to a predecessor
or successor batch. Chainings already configured in BatchCC are shown in the "Schedule
batches" dialog and can be modified. You specify a predecessor batch or successor batch and
specify whether the predecessor or successor batch should be started or already completed
before the batch object starts. You also specify the chronological order of chained batches.
Note
It is possible to chain batches in such a manner that two batches are their own reciprocal
successors and predecessors. This results in both batches never being started. Ensure during
configuring that loops or interruptions do not result when deleting chained batches.
