This parameter is used with work orders. Use it to force the printing of all planned documents in the production folder before any production activity for a work order can be recorded. This is referred to as "tracking".

Optional - This is the default value for this parameter. Progress against individual work orders can be recorded before the documents associated with the work order in the production folder are printed. This includes recording the issue of materials to a work order, recording activity against a specific operation in a routing, or receiving the produced goods and recording the details of the receipt.

Mandatory - Prevent any progress from being recorded against a work order before all documents associated with the work order in the production folder are printed. The work order cannot be selected for tracking and the warning "The WO has not been printed, tracking not possible" is displayed.

Once all planned documents from the production folder have been printed a work order advances to Printed
