General Reference: Ticket Sections

In a simple routing, the bundle's parts remain together together through the entire assembly process. But in some routings, the bundle's parts split off from each other - some parts of the bundle need to head down processing line B while other parts head down processing line C, and eventually, all of the parts come back together again in line D.

           B4->B5->B6 
          /          \
A1->A2->A3            D10->D11->D12->D13->D14
          \          / 
           C7->C8->C9              

That's what Ticket Sections are for. When building your routing, you would put steps 1 - 3 under Section A, steps 4 - 6 under Section B, steps 7 - 9 under Section C, and steps 10 - 14 under Section D. (Of course you can call those sections anything you want.) For such a routing, Bundle-Track would produce one ticket sheet with four Section headers.

You would attach the whole sheet to the bundle at the beginning, and then, when the Sections need to split, you would tear the ticket sheet into two portions so that the tickets for Sections B and C can be travel with their respective materials. When it comes time to reunite the Sections, you'll refer to the Bundle Number in the Section headers to identify matching Bundle Sections.
