Job

On the Job Orders form, enter the job number to use to identify this job order. The job references this order, and must be unique throughout the system. You are often asked to enter a job number to refer to a job order. The system generates the next available job number automatically and displays it after adding a new job order.

Note:  If you are using a job prefix (defined on the Shop Floor Control Parameters form), the system, when incrementing job numbers, will look for the last number that begins with the prefix and ends with a numeric digit and will increment it by 1. The system will ignore numbers that contain alphabetic characters after the prefix. If you are not using a prefix, the system will look for the largest number and increment it by 1.

On the Copy Routing/BOM form, this field (in the From column) is accessible only if you selected Job or Job Estimate in the Copy From field. Enter or select the number of the job or estimate from which the information will be copied. In the To column, enter the number of the job to which the copy routing information will be copied. If you leave this field blank, the next available job number will be used (this number will display at the conclusion of the copy process).

Note:  If the job number in the To area has a released status, existing routing and bill of material cannot be modified. However, additional routings and bill of material can be added to the end of the existing routing.
