	[[~~Category: Commander4j~~]]		Process Order Assign to Labeller is the function that connects a [[Process Orders\|Process Order]] to a physical labelling machine (or group of machines) on a production line. When a process order is assigned to a labeller, Commander4j exports label data as a CSV file to a folder accessible by the labelling application (AutoLab4j or LabelServer4j), which then drives the physical printer automatically.

	~~Also see~~ [[Production Lines & Labellers]]		This is distinct from the standard [[Printer Queues\|print queue]] approach, where labels are sent directly to a printer on demand. The labeller assignment approach is used when labels need to be printed continuously and automatically as products are manufactured on a line.

			== Production Lines and Labellers ==

			Before process orders can be assigned to labellers, the production line configuration must be set up. See [[Production Lines & Labellers]] for how to define lines, assign physical labellers to them, and configure resource and workstation restrictions.

			== Assigning a Process Order ==

			From the Process Order screen, an operator selects a process order and assigns it to a production line. The system:

			# Validates that the operator's workstation is permitted to assign to the selected line (if workstation validation is enabled for that line).
			# Validates that the process order's required resource matches one assigned to the line (if resource validation is enabled).
			# Exports label data as one or more CSV files — one per physical labeller assigned to the line.
			# The external labelling application (AutoLab4j or LabelServer4j) reads the CSV and drives the printer.

			== Multiple Labellers on One Line ==

			A single logical production line can have multiple physical labellers assigned to it. When a process order is assigned to the line, Commander4j creates a separate CSV export file for each physical labeller. This allows, for example, a pallet labeller and a case labeller to both receive data from the same process order assignment.

			== Control Mechanisms ==

			Three levels of control are available when configuring a production line:

			{\| class="wikitable"
			\|-
			! Control !! Description
			\|-
			\| '''Resource Validation''' \|\| When enabled, a process order can only be assigned to a line if the order's Required Resource matches a resource configured for that line. This prevents orders intended for one production line being accidentally assigned to another.
			\|-
			\| '''Workstation Restriction''' \|\| When enabled, only specified workstations (computers) can assign orders to a given line. This prevents accidental cross-line assignment from the wrong terminal.
			\|-
			\| '''SSCC Range''' \|\| Optionally restrict the SSCCs generated by a line to a specific numeric range, identified by a prefix. Useful when different labellers must produce SSCCs from separate ranges.
			\|}

			== Label Groups ==

			Each production line is associated with a label group — Pack, Pallet, or General — which determines the type of label data exported. A line configured for Pallet labels will export pallet label data; one configured for Pack labels will export case/pack label data.

			== Related Screens ==

			{\| class="wikitable"
			\|-
			! Screen !! Purpose
			\|-
			\| [[Production Lines & Labellers]] \|\| Define and configure production lines and their assigned labellers
			\|-
			\| [[Required Resources]] \|\| Define the resource codes that can be linked to process orders and lines
			\|-
			\| [[Process Orders]] \|\| View and manage process orders; assign them to labellers from here
			\|}
