Print Order Summaries
Daily Product + Date + Edition Center circulation control from source supply through Approved print and dispatch output.
Daily operating flow
Prepare Indents/Subscriptions -> Generate Print Orders -> Review Paid/Free/Subscription -> Confirm -> Print Order -> Dispatch Labels.
Before generation
- Product is correct
- Edition Center is correct
- Approved effective Paid/Free Indents exist
- Active effective Subscriptions exist
- Agents are Active
- Dispatch Routes are ready when labels are required
Generate Print Orders
Choose Product, Print Order Date and Edition Center. Agent Scope is all Active Agents in the selected Edition Center. The current UI rejects a date more than 4 days in the future.
Source quantities
Paid/Free come from the latest effective Approved Indent Lines. Subscription comes from Active effective Subscriptions and excludes effective paused periods.
Review before Confirm
Use the chart and Summary Data to drill Edition -> District -> Mandal -> Agent. Review Paid, Free, Subscription and Total and investigate unexpected movements at source.
- Request Approval — disabled
- Approve — disabled
- Reject — disabled
- Confirm — Draft to Approved
- Print Order — Approved only
- Generate Dispatch Labels — Approved only
Dispatch Labels
Labels use Approved quantities and Agent Dispatch Route context. Default output is one District PDF per District inside a ZIP; All Labels in one PDF is also available.
Relationship to Bills
Normal Agent Bill generation consumes Paid/Free Print Order supply only when the matching Print Order Summary is Approved. Subscription Print Order Lines are physical distribution supply and are not charged by the current Agent Bill generator.
Troubleshooting
- No lines: check Active Agents, Approved Indents, Active Subscriptions, effective dates and Product.
- Protected batch: open existing In Approvals/Approved Summary.
- Print/label disabled: Summary must be Approved.
- Unassigned route warning: correct Agent/Dispatch Route and regenerate labels.
- PDF failure after Confirm: retry output; do not rebuild Approved supply.
