Setting up "Prod File Required" on methods/warehouse

Steps for setting up ProdFile requirements by method/warehouse

If orders drop to production without require files, FDM4 methods can be setup to require a file be specified as "prod" before it will allow the order to drop to production. This prevents an order from dropping without the necessary files.

Follow these steps for setup:

  1. Go to Decoration Method > Select the Method you wish to update

  2. Select Method Vendors > Locate the decoration vendor and select "Require Production file" flag. Setting this to True will trigger the new hold that is created if a prodfile is not loaded to a design/art when ordering from that Vendor/Warehouse. Screenshot 2026-04-08 at 7.50.02 AM

 
 Additional Commentary for GO:
  • In Hold Codes d_fil hold is created and will trigger if there is no prodfile set on the design/art when ordering from the Vendor/Warehouse that uses the Require Production file flag.

  • In Decoration Design Master the Proof Required flag will remain true after proofing approved if there is no prodfile on the attached art. If there is a prodfile, it will go to false after proofing is approved.

  • There are new Prodfile columns in the following modules Column Management:

    • Proof Management 

       
    • Art Management
