Splitting Timelines – Moving Products

When a sale is created, Brandengine consolidates products with the same production stages into a single timeline. This grouping is based on the vendors involved in completing the order.

However, there may be instances where you need to split timelines—for example, if items have different lead times or will be shipped separately.

Brandengine makes it easy to manage this. You can even move items between different timelines with ease.

The example below shows two products from the same supplier. However, each item has a different lead time (10 working days and 3 working days). These cannot be managed effectively on the same timeline.

Let’s split these by moving the 3 Day item to its own timeline.

At the far right of the product row you will see a Move link

In this instance, we will move the item to a new timeline. However, you also have the option to add it to any other timeline within the same job.

As a result, we now have the original timeline with the 10-day item and a separate timeline with the 3-day item. The new timeline is also added to the Overview at the top of the page.

To change the timeline name and stage timing, click and modify details in the pop up as required.
