Skip Material Process#

Material.SkipProcess

Overview#

This operations allows a Material to bypass processing at a specific Step, so the Material will automatically change from Queued to Processed state while remaining at the same Step. This is particularly useful for Sub-Materials that skip a specific Step, enabling them to be set to the Skipped/Processed state for that Step. Meanwhile, Sub-Materials requiring processing at the Step can proceed as needed, allowing all Materials to be merged at the end of the Step.

This operation can be performed from the Material page as well as from Step and Resource view pages.
